Chrome has a massive market share and Google abuses that market share by breaking web standards, and pushing people towards Chrome because “the competition doesn’t work”.

They act in bad faith and abuse their position to more deeply entrench their position in anticompetitive monopolistic ways.

That’s the Crux of it.

Because that’s a typical demographics question for any survey worth it’s salt?

Interpreting MRI scans?

Translating language?

Object detection on assembly lines?

Object detection to sort recycling?

Identifying disease markers?

Classifying data?

…etc

Things that it’s been used for for ages now, and has become ubiquitous for.

It already has been applied to healthcare, and nearly every other industry, and has been for more than a decade.

The current LLM hype is the only thing most people know of when they hear “AI”. Which is a shame.

Peak hype-based ignorance 🤣

Being this confident while also not knowing how AI has been in use for more than the last decade, and going off on a rant on AI mistakes when a defining feature of AI is to solve problems that classical programming cannot, but without guaranteed results, is cringe AF

I mean, generally, it is.

It’s just that the uneducated masses don’t realize that “AI” outside of today’s LLMs has been improving our technological life for well over a decade now.

And so abused and misused for just as long. LLms and the hype and slop is a relatively new thing, this is old, useful, technology.

“Eradicated” is literally impossible, entire swathes of industries can only operate at the levels of efficiency they have come to rely on because of specialized models. And have for ages now, long before the hype and slop started.

Not every model is an LLM 🤦

My brother in Lemmy, how do you think they pay their engineers?

Would you rather them try and get revenue through advertising means? Because that’s what it sounds like, no decision is a decision.

Of all the things you could want from Firefox. Of all the possibilities.

The primary, only, thing you could come up with is “I don’t want privacy focused translation, because AI”

Without realizing the the grand majority of all translation tools that don’t suck have been AI driven for like 8+ years (Long, long, before LLMs of today).

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Found the person who only reads headlines!

Isn’t this a perfect foreign adversary opportunity for spying on U.S. political figures?

Just integrate your own robot dog, or compromise an existing one. And surveillance away.

You can’t buy the idea of it because you don’t understand the theories around it?

That’s an odd stance.

Would it not be better to respect and explore the idea instead of trying to dismis is through ignorance?

They do now. But before this they would prompt users to activate it, but it was the users choice not to.

This is, largely, the norm for nearly every online service.

So if you enabled a setting that is opt-in only that allows sharing data between accounts and you are surprised that data was shared between accounts how is that not your fault?

If the accounts were logged into from geographically similar locations at normal volumes then it wouldn’t look too out of the ordinary.

The part that would probably look suspicious would be the increase in traffic from data exfiltration. However, that would probably be a low priority alert for most engineering orgs.

Even less likely when you have a bot network that is performing normal logins with limited data exfiltration over the course of multiple months to normalize any sort of monitoring and analytics. Rendering such alerting inert, since the data would appear normal.

Setting up monitoring and analysis for user accounts and where they’re logging from and suspicious activity isn’t exactly easy. It’s so difficult that most companies tend to just defer to large players like Google and Microsoft to do this for them. And even if they had this setup which I imagine they already did it was defeated.

Should probably ask OP!

They seems to be in the same boat based on this submission…

OP spreading disinformation.

Users used bad passwords. Their accounts where accessed using their legitimate, bad, passwords.

Users cry about the consequences of their bad passwords.

Yeah, 23AndMe has some culpability here, but the lions share is still in the users themselves

Depends on how you’re using it. You can wrong an absolutely insane amount of performance out of postgres that you cannot with MySQL.

I wonder how much next cloud leaves on the table?

Love it when corporations have more power than government entities.

The dystopian future is coming faster than ever

Sounds like a common software issue. All the features where developed to 80%, and then moved on to the next feature. Leaving that last, difficult, time consuming, 20% open and unfinished.

It’s the difference between more corporate or Enterprise projects and FOSS projects in a lot of ways. Even once that project matures and becomes a more corporate product the same attitude towards completeness and correctness tends to persist.

(not saying foss is bad, just that the bar tends to be lower in my experience of building software, for many legitimate reasons).

It’s “cultural” in a way depending on the project.

You’re right, we should all stop talking about and discussing problems and risks. And silently stare at each other tille someone else comes up with a solution.

Step 1 in fixing a problem is to recognize and get awareness for it.

Step 2 is garnering interest from the people who are qualified to actually make realistic proposals

Step 3 is collaborating on ideas to figure out what will or won’t be effective, and to create new ideas by returning to step 2.

Step 4 is to circle back to step 1, but for actions and implementations. Repeat ad nauseum.

**We’re Still in Step 1. ** Complaining that we aren’t getting to the next step quick enough without providing assistance to get there is incredibly meta to this process 🤔
