So! Who's Mozilla's investor that demanded they go full fucking AI, with a zillion AI job ads? Anyone know what money is driving this?
-
@davidgerard Could be lack of money if Google drops payments to Mozilla for buying the default search engine spot. That's like 3/4ths of their annual revenue, isn't it?
-
@hal8999 @davidgerard so how is trying to foist use of AI onto their users going to improve their cash flow? All I can see it being is a cash drain.
-
@marjolica @davidgerard content can be rented to others for training LLMs. that's the normal revenue stream for 'free' products now.
LinkedIn just opted in all of their users to feed Microsoft.
-
@hal8999 @davidgerard what content? All I see when I use Firefox is what is on the web anyway. I don't create content when browsing. Well technically I am creating this, but as it's a public post it's going on the web anyway.
And if they were just trying to sell content they wouldn't need AI developers or advertisings, just good lawyers.
-
@marjolica @davidgerard At the most basic level, any text you input into the browser can be used as training for the default language you are using.
So, if you post to a site where you deny use of your content for LLM training, you browser might hoover it up anyway and send it to their brokers.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I wonder if someone thinks that a large dataset of "prompts", given sufficient "prompt engineering", would be a decent training set.
(I do not necessarily think it would be, for the record, as the LLMs already reproduce syntactically valid expressions, which is all this dataset would consist of, but all reason has flown out the door with "AI" so who knows what people would pay for at this point)
