"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI in Firefox (piefed.social)

Six months ago, Firefox users were outraged by the new Mozilla management's attempt to install AI by default, which couldn't be disabled in the settings. This could only be done through a special procedure. Mozilla eventually created a dedicated tab in the settings where AI could be disabled. But today, I discovered that this tab has disappeared again in the new version. I offer Firefox users a procedure to disable AI.

Disable the integrated AI chatbot in Firefox

8.1. Firefox features an integrated AI chatbot. By default, it's turned on. This might negatively affect both your privacy and the performance (speed) of Firefox.

Thankfully, it's rather easy to disable this feature. Like this:

a. Type in the URL bar of Firefox:

about:config

Press Enter.

b. Now you're being presented with a warning. Ignore it and click on the blue button "Accept the Risk and Continue".

c. Copy/paste the following search term into the configuration search box:

browser.ml.

d. Find the following entry: browser.ml.chat.enabled
That's currently set to the boolean value true. Double-click on it, so that it changes into false.

Do the same for the entry: browser.ml.enable

e. Close Firefox and re-launch it.

wtf is this comment even trying to say?

This is what I'd expect from the guy who wrote templeos if he was born a few years later

I'm saying that the same software run on two different computers can have two different outcomes.

This is pretty fucking obvious unless you're just an arrogant and/or stupid asshole trying to win Innarwebtube Points.

The LLM shot was the added point that LLMs were written to cater to your particular breed of assholery: confidently and stupidly incorrect.
