Firefox and Mozilla ignoring the core audience's desire to keep the browser free from LLM is not good news.

Firefox and Mozilla ignoring the core audience's desire to keep the browser free from LLM is not good news. Ignoring your biggest fans always ends up costing you. I'm just saying. On a related note, someone with engineering and money resources can build LLM-free dumb products, like home appliances, electric cars, etc., and easily make good financial fortunes. People are sick of this LLM and privacy issues. Please stop adding this nonsense to everything

@nixCraft Let me fix this for you: the infinitesimally small population of people who have spent one minute thinking about LLMs are sick of it. The other billions of people don’t know or care and are happy to just use whatever they’re given.

@jdw @nixCraft "Researchers have found that including the words "artificial intelligence" in product marketing is a major turn-off for consumers, suggesting a growing backlash and disillusionment with the tech — and that startups trying to cram "AI" into their product are actually making a grave error."
