Mastodon es un oasis por muchas cosas, pero estar en un lugar donde hablar con tranquilidad desde un punto de vista crítico de la tecnología es absolutamente maravilloso.

Un lugar donde se entiende que la #IA no es tecnología, sino ideología. Se entienden sus repercusiones reales, y se contruyen alternativas habitables a otro internet.

A million thanks to @ljwrites @WeirdWriter @zwol for the info on what settings to change in Firefox to disable some of their new AI bullshit

Details in my last boost and also here https://writeout.ink/@ljwrites/115066813063242951

Not sure yet how this is synced to mobile (if you have that set up) or what it does to that version but once I save my bajillion open private tabs on my phone I'll take a look and report back

Okay I thought it was a passing thing, but it's been hours since I disabled the AI chatbot feature in #Firefox (I never realized there was such a feature) and I still have like 800 MB more free RAM than before? How long was this thing hanging around anyway?

If you want to try disabling it, navigate to about:config in a tab, click "accept the risk and continue," and search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled and browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled settings. If either comes up "true," set to "false" by double-clicking the setting line.

Some have experienced a browser crash from changing these settings, which in @WeirdWriter 's case was solved by a system reboot. For more details you can check out this link I got from him: https://www.neowin.net/news/mozilla-under-fire-for-firefox-ai-bloat-that-blows-up-cpu-and-drains-battery/ #tech#fuckAI

I'm dying here. Just had a customer come in, asking where his drink was. We never got any mobile orders for him.

"I asked ChatGPT to order it for me and it said I could pick it up."

But... But... But.... If I don't use "AI" how will I ever demolish the environment while churning out mountains of garbage based on stolen content and forgetting how to actually do anything?!?!?!

"I used AI to....", is nothing more than, "Listen I'm not an asshole but....", for the 21st Century.

The Drupal's #AI initiative has anonymous sponsors?

Why? Why would you want to hide your financial support for unethical, controversial, ill-advised, hardly functional technology trained on stolen content by sweatshop workers in faraway countries?

If it's so fantastic, so game-changing, and so good for the future of Drupal, surely supporting it shouldn't make you want to hide your face like a cowardly ICE goon.

and while we're at it, chinga la migra too.
