"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Mozilla is now encouraging unattributed slop code in Firefox (github.com)

Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

It is not a fork. It is a set of patches on top of Firefox Stable.

Waterfox or Floorp?

I don’t use either currently but I’m thinking of switching off the main Firefox browser.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why? They all depend on Firefox.

[–] belazor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You commented on the others saying they were not forks, which it seems like these are.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They depend entirely on Mozilla developing Firefox as Free Software.

[–] belazor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And the alternative is what? Chromium?

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 4 weeks ago

There is no real alternative. In terms of Free Software modern web browsers, it's either Firefox or Chromium.
Servo and Ladybird in the future.
