I’ve been saying this for ages. Even as someone who’s more-or-less against the current implementation of AI, I think people who truly believe in AI should be fighting the hardest against bad uses of it. It gives AI a worse black eye every time something like this happens.
“Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone.”
It’s not illegal as long as you’re not trying to get it out of circulation, advertise, or pass off one denomination as another. So deface away.

This is actually a feature in Reddit for those unaware.
It looks to me like that’s functionally just posting in a subreddit created with your name, in which you’re the only one allowed to post. So creating a community on Lemmy with your name and you as the only authorized poster would serve the same function.
Yeah sorry, this meme struck me as very steeped in current American politics (not sure if this same nonsense is happening elsewhere) so I didn’t think about other constitutions.
I’m pretty sure the science says it’s more like 20-30. I know personally, if I try to work more than about 40-ish hours in a week, the time comes out of the following week without me even trying. A task that took two hours in a 45-hour “crunch” week will end up taking three when I don’t have to crunch. And if I keep up the crunch for too long, I start making a lot of mistakes.
“We the people…”
I think that would make a great browser extension. I’m not in a position to make it right now, but wow, that could potentially be really useful.
I’m sticking with Gecko for sure. Trying out Waterfox over the weekend on desktop, and Fennec F-Droid on my phone.
Yep. I’m furious at Mozilla right now. But when the Firefox Phone was in development, they were one of the web’s heroes.
It sort of can. Firefox is using a small language model to do just that, in one of the more useful accessibility implementations of machine learning. But it’s never going to be capable of the context that human alt text, from the uploader, can give.
The Firefox Phone should’ve been a real contender. I just want a browser in my pocket that takes good pictures and plays podcasts.
I’m not the person you’re replying to, but “weaker locks” feels like something you can make allowances for or work around. “Extra keys” feels like the Damoclean threat that it is.
Honestly I think that sort of training is largely already over. The datasets already exist (have for over a decade now), and are largely self-training at this point. Any training on new images is going to be done by looking at captions under news images, or through crawling videos with voiceovers. I don’t think this is a going concern anymore.
And, incidentally, that kind of dataset just isn’t very valuable to AI companies. Most of the use they’re going to get is in being able to create accessible image descriptions for visually-disabled people anyway; they don’t really have a lot more value for generative diffusion models beyond the image itself, since the aforementioned image description models are so good.
In short, I really strongly believe that this isn’t a reason to not alt-text your images.
100%. I can’t decide whether I think the organization being dissolved completely is a good idea or not, but I’m at least open to it.
Sorry, I realized I’m using my personal jargon in public again. When I said “AI,” I meant this overhyped put-it-in-your-mouse garbage. When I’m talking about the actually useful stuff, I usually call it “ML.”
Of course you have no reason to know that or care. My apologies.
AI is going to fail, and it can’t happen soon enough. The Mozilla leadership really needs to pay attention to that reality.
You really didn’t address the sunk cost problem, but honestly I don’t really care anymore. You think what you want.
You’re ignoring everything else I said because you don’t agree with one semantic point of a partial response, so here it is again.
Most of the time, a company can’t afford to just not release a product they worked on. They talked about why it didn’t turn out the way they wanted to in the announcement stream (the laws of physics), but assuming they had already done the investment into the R&D to produce the box, they can’t just decide “never mind.” If they do it too much, they go out of business.
EDIT: also, you said “bit by bit” in your original message. You don’t do things bit by bit if you’re not trying to be sneaky.
I’m aware of the feature, it’s been around since before I left. I’m saying that it looks functionally like they coded it to be nothing more than a subreddit named for you, in which you’re the only one allowed to post. They may have put some sort of flashy nonsense over the top of it, but that’s pretty much what it is.
