What Google sees:
The child is likely Caucasian, with an estimated family income ranging from $40,000 to $80,000. Presuming a Christian background, their sexual orientation is currently unknown. Politically, their family might lean towards the Democrat party. Emotionally, they exhibit joy and curiosity, dressed casually in a striped tank top and shorts, paired with worn boots. The child enjoys writing, and drawing. On the downside, vandalism, destruction and irresponsibility.
Never mind the AI, Google is untrustworthy with your photos to begin with. Every single one of them already was used to train advertisement algorithms on things like personal vulnerabilities, vices, fears, latent problems…
I started to update my post before realizing you have a much better version of the link, thank you for providing it. Must have been too flabbergasted to even describe the website
Ironic: the same troll (Facedeer) complained people were too paranoid about job loss:
I think the online rhetoric around AI has been way more apocalyptic than the more vague and abstract political stuff… All jobs will be taken away and everyone will be reduced to serfs or killed as surplus population? Drum that into a sufficiently mentally fragile subset of the population long and hard enough and you’ll get them worked up enough to feel like they need to strike first.
But what’s a troll without inconsistent rhetoric…
I see your account is just here to troll/harass people who don’t love AI too, but we’re witnessing Mozilla burning goodwill and capital for no apparent reason.
Please don’t tell people to stick their heads in the sand.
The bad news: MZLA (Thunderbird’s maker) is all-in on AI.
The good news: They aren’t using your Thunderbird donations to build this. It’s funded by the Mozilla Foundation, which has been throwing money at every random AI startup it sees. Including one that wants to help electricians wire your home.
Edit: Mozilla is so untrustworthy these days that they had to cite themselves in the testimonial
Wired’s Maxwell Zeff wrote about a number of journalists using A.I. to assist their writing, including the Times columnist Kevin Roose… who [created instructions] to help Claude write in his style, including the “10 commandments” of writing like Alex Heath.
Can’t believe anybody takes Kevin seriously. Not here, sure, but there are some in the tech sphere who loves that he says what they already believe.
Those quotes are nearly incomprehensible and they aren’t isolated incidents either. This CEO talks like every tech CEO selling AI products.
When you look at the term browser, it’s very antiquated in the sense that there’s static content, and when I click on the content, I get to the next link… With apps, it became more bidirectional. There’s more rich engagement with AI.
Instead of being a browser, it’s becoming a generative system, but it’s not doing it in a negative way that prevents the person’s incentive from creating the content in the first place.
CEO sure did say a thing. But it’s the interviewer’s job to say please explain what you mean" in response.
This has to be the most ridiculous paragraph I’ve ever read:
The difference between Firefox and other apps is that Mozilla has no incentive to prioritize a particular app or service.
Sure, Mozilla has no incentive to prioritize their biggest donor Google.
A choice screen could deliver a variety of models — probably curated by Mozilla, Varma said — or nothing at all. (Perplexity AI just appeared.)
This has to be a joke. What do you mean “it just appeared”? Mozilla only adds search engines after they secure fat stacks of cash, and Perplexity got even more kudos (including an in-browser notification) than other options like Ecosia.
There’s some promises in there though. This one caught my eye:
What else can users expect? According to Varma… “Smart Windows,” which will be Firefox’s first foray into bringing some of “AI” intelligence to the user.
This “foray” is bound to be a money waster, but as least Mozilla isn’t trying to make us pay to add this expensive slop…
“We don’t yet know how we will monetize,” Varma said. “Maybe we’ll have a subscription."
Well.
The really mind-blowing thing is that this has been in the term since October 2025. That doesn’t excuse their abhorrent advertising practices, which are commonplace among big AI companies, but it’s incredible nobody saw it for so long.
I hope that goes without saying, but you’re correct. The humanizing language about AI in this article (freaking “schemes”?!) is completely cribbed from the companies making the positive misleading statements about it. Bit disappointing to see The Guardian falling for it.
In addition to the humanization, it implies the chatbot is getting better at doing things and not worse.
So the people saying “you’re prompting it wrong” were incorrect.
It was the AI industry with its billionaire tech wizards that have been building it wrong.
I’m not shocked MS hasn’t apologized, but actions speak louder than words. Seeing a more efficient OS with less CoPilot sounds good, and other companies should take note.
We’re living in some backwards world where Microsoft is removing AI from their OS, while Mozilla is jamming it into every product they can.
@JcbAzPx@lemmy.world what do you think?
Closed-source AI company browser…
This offends a lot of Mozilla stans, but Firefox isn’t much better.
They have similar links to shady people, often the same shady people… That includes two friends of Jeffrey Epstein.
And Mozilla still engages in discrimination today.
From the linked document, describing an unneeded round of layoffs:
People from groups underrepresented in technology, like female leaders and persons of color, were disproportionately impacted by the [Mozilla’s] layoff.
Vivaldi’s ad blocker is really subpar compared to Brave or uBO. I tried using it for a while, and you have to tamper with filter lists (including disabling pre-approved advertisers) and it still fails in areas Brave doesn’t.
I have yet to see a reason for not using Brave that wouldn’t also apply to Firefox developer Mozilla. That includes appeals to morality, control from Big Tech, etc.
If Brave works (and on iOS it’s basically the only option with a reliable ad blocker) then I don’t see a reason to avoid it.
Would love to see somebody levy a complaint that doesn’t also apply to Firefox. Any takers?
People here went from “Brave is problematic” to “haha unnecessary layoffs” in no time flat. What’s with the performative cruelty all of a sudden?
This video is pretty silly too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3cYlVWu5Dk
