Just a dude on the internet, looking for content and fun! I love Linux, gaming, writing, reading, music, anime, walks, and occasionally movies too. Chronically ill and anxious too, that makes life quite interesting…At times. Also learning about my anthro shark leanings…Thanks furries for providing me with a safe place to explore this part of me!
I hope the slopicalypse does hit in 2027 because there is no way to escape technical debt, unless you build software with smart people carefully maintaining it as they add features. LLMs could never do that and will cause the worst tech disasters. I cannot wait to see the aftermath of all these corporations fucking around and finally finding out how stupid they really are!
Given that experts had already warned of the dangers and it happened, its tragic that the slop apps are still a thing. Like, there is a reason why programming is a profession, its complex and has a lot of moving parts. LLM slop is never going to approach the art, skill, or reasonable security that a sane programmer can.
Wow you can tell AI was involved given the fact 4 out of the 6 women were probably generated using NSFW data…Yikes, a lot of those generated images look similar to the ones that I find YouTube Phishing bots using repeatedly. I don’t understand how people can’t immediately tell these are GenAI profiles when looking through them. The language is too similar, feels off to me at least. Makes my brain itch.
Oofta, I’d love to have multiple parties with different priorities to vote for. That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.
We will keep defeating these nasty bills, we have to keep pushing and not just giving into what the government wants. As what the government wants is nasty as fuck! There will be means to circumvent such changes, Ageless Linux is working on categorizing the methods of evasion, keeping track of what Linux distros are deciding and doing in regards to Age Verification.
Ugh, this is so disgusting! They desperately want control over things they should never have! I’ve shared my opinion will all three of my representatives.
LOL Of course this bastard would try to worm his way out of liability. As LLMs cannot be held responsible for any actions, since these hallucination engines cannot think or feel. However, OpenAI can and should be held liable when their product is directly responsible for causing something horrible to happen on both a small and critical scale. If they can create the “tech” they can accept responsibility when the shit goes south and causes a lot of destruction/loss of life.
LOL If it is so dangerous, just destroy Claude and throw it in the trash…Stop being a Doomsday Dan, Anthropic, a tactic you use to scare-impress investors into fueling your strange addiction to your own fiction!

LOL MAGA is such a fucking joke…
Exactly, it should never be bundled into software without explicit user consent.
It’s still a problem because users are opted in, as I’ve mentioned in many replies…If users don’t push back, we get situations like Microsoft and their insane LLM shit being shoved in all their software/services/OS. It’s the same “normalize and numb” tactics used by corporations to make end users more compliant to their forced integration of features in software, that aren’t the best or helpful to that end user. It’s not okay, nor is this an ordinary new feature. LLMs are being used to do a lot of disgusting things in the world by the ultra-wealthy and techbros wanting to control/influence the masses.
It’s still opt out, not opt in because on first install that LLM garbage is enabled by default. The kill switch should’ve been for people that chose to try LLM garbage and found it lacking; needing an easy way to disable it all.
I won’t stop complaining until Firefox makes their LLM nonsense opt-in, letting a user choose at first boot if they want that shit or not. That would be the most ethical and user respecting way to handle their LLM shit.
Big yikes, I could imagine this won’t stay in Windows Insiders for long. Given how Microslop doesn’t understand the meaning of restraint. Glad that I switched to Linux before a lot of their damaging decisions could settle down in my PC and fuck it up!
Users needed to be able to choose if they wanted those LLM features from the very beginning, opt-in is the only sane way Mozilla could’ve handled this push towards LLM integration in Firefox. You are being “All Hail Corporate” by refusing to hold Mozilla accountable for their user hostile behavior. In this case, insane defaults and not respecting user choice is the bad behavior on the part of Mozilla. The only respectful choice would’ve been allowing the user to reject LLM features when first starting Firefox. A kill switch cannot be considered enough in this case and never should be!
Still not the point, if Mozilla wanted to implement LLM features, they needed to do it right! Opt-in is the ethical and user respecting way to handle it. We can all use Forks, but if you let a corporation get away with insane defaults…It will get worse.
LLM features should be opt-in by default, full stop. Just turning it off without being given a choice to refuse is very scummy behavior on the part of Mozilla. What if they wanted to use the default Firefox? Shouldn’t a user be allowed to opt-in and have LLM features off by default on every fresh install?
It’s nice having options that respect your freedom of choice and don’t force their deluded ideas upon you…I feel that mainline Firefox, made by Mozilla should do that as well! By not holding Mozilla to higher standards, you get another Microsoft Edge or Chrome situation all over again, this time in open source spaces.
Any LLM features should’ve been opt-in by default if Mozilla actually gave a shit, asking the user if they wanted that useless bullshit before installing. As this technology isn’t polished and can introduce vulnerabilities due to it’s inherently insecure nature. A kill switch is useful if a user decided that LLMs weren’t it and wanted to disable everything wholesale at the click of a button; only after they originally consented to LLM features being enabled.
Mozilla are only adding this feature because users made their LLM by default installation look pretty grim, I was one of those many dissenting voices about that. They wanted to jump on the LLM hype and cash in on some techbro attention, not considering that some of their user base would outright reject the idea.
Eww, that’s the worse trade that one could possibly do. ROFL Given how much of a fail “AI” is at the moment, they could never deliver anything substantial with such a trade.
LOL okay…If you say so.
