@thomasfuchs It's *possible* I've made some use of ML algorithms today. But GenAI as people have defined it? Zero. Same as every other day.
And I'm fully a participant in a computer-driven & online society. It's shocking, really, how *easily* you can avoid GenAI and still do all the normal computing things available to do today.
@thomasfuchs I mean, "at the heart of", "indiscriminately slathered over the top of" what's the real difference if you just don't think about it.
My completely uninformed guess is they used a LLM
Looks like @mozilla is doubling down on the AI bollocks.
What a waste of talent and resources to spend it on yet another tech bubble that will burst soon 😟🤦♂️
I have never seen this before: clicking the link leads me to a page that's blank except for a blinking cursor. 🤔
@thomasfuchs "not just – but" sentence structure is a fairly good hint for where that slop came from.
@thomasfuchs liking this post for the new word I learned today
@thomasfuchs they asked SlopSkibbidy, I guess
@thomasfuchs It’s numberwang!
@thomasfuchs as part of Engineering today AI usage is being encouraged to solve problems big and small and it's included in almost everything that get's shipped. So I get the point that if you used a computer today - yep - you used either a product that was built with it (probably in part but some even in whole) or something "interactive" like LLM's and the like.
Mozilla is just one big grift.
@thomasfuchs once again I am having trouble understanding what they are talking about
@thomasfuchs I keep expecting them to move the goalposts and define “AI” so generally that it basically boils down to all software being AI. I mean, an app that requires sign-in must be artificially intelligent because how else would it know if you put the right password in? How does a spreadsheet “know” how to add things together unless it’s artificially intelligent? And so on.
In which case, that definition of AI justifies the statement you referenced.
@Kimota94 I think the management types are already there
@thomasfuchs "Today we are rewiring Mozilla to do for AI what we did for the web"
From what they've done lately for the web, this might be a threat to AI.
@thomasfuchs " it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today" "yeah because you fuckers keep trying to cram it into everything...just stop!"

@jaredwhite yeah “AI” in marketing speech that doesn’t further qualify always 100% means generative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Like I’ve used computers for maybe 8 hours today and literally none of what I did had anything to do with “AI”.
No matter how much the tech industry wants to feed us their generative excrement, it’s simply at most some other tool that some people use.
Just get fucked with this “it’s magical!” shit.
@thomasfuchs - I did not (knowingly) use AI today. I had a very productive day. I plan to do the same tomorrow.
Miyazaki is right, it’s an insult to life itself.
And yes I’m angry, and so should you be.
@thomasfuchs im assuming the whole page is ai slop, and noone in leadership at Moz cares
@thomasfuchs did AI write it?
