Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

No thanks, I prefer free software

  • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  • The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
  • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

  • The freedom to run the Browser as you wish for any purpose is given in Vivaldi more than in any other existing browser
  • Same for study how it works and change it to your wish, the source code is available
  • Redistribute isn't allowed, but with already over 100 different browsers, most Chromiums, the need of it is anyway pretty debatable.
  • You are free to distribute your mods to other Vivaldi users, the Forum is full of it. As said, the Source is modificable by the user to his like (naturally at own risk, but it isn't avoided by Vivaldi, they show you even how).

Currently there are 4 Millon users of Vivaldi and with all the possibiñities to customize the browser, there are no 2 users with the same.

I know what they say and I know the reasons and what it means for its users. Would be nice if Mozilla had this transparency.

"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.
