Firefox uses on-device downloaded-on-demand ML models for privacy-preserving translation.
They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.
Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?
@firefoxwebdevs start with the list of stuff that LibreWolf rips out?
-
@firefoxwebdevs But wait… what if the developers used AI to help develop the code in the browser itself? Does that mean AI kill switch purists should then rather not even use the product at all?
@mdavis @firefoxwebdevs I do not want to use any product that has been developed using "AI" code generation tools, especially not if it is security critical software like a browser

@mcc @firefoxwebdevs I would mostly agree with this if you added this at the end of your statement: …by an idiot programmer or one who didn’t grow up and learn to code properly during the decades before AI LLMs.
In reality, I don’t think either of us are going to get our way on this one.

I would say every feature in everything should be a separate toggle to the best of its ability.
Also, by "open data", I hope you mean "the data's license gives consent to be used in this way", not "the data exists on the web somewhere".

@firefoxwebdevs Said translation should be an opt-in extension you can install if you want it. Not a core component at all.
@dalias @firefoxwebdevs Which is also kind of funny when compared to pro-privacy features like containers being put as extensions. -
@Fnordinger https://www.neuralconcept.com/post/ml-vs-llm-key-differences-applications-engineering-impact seems like a good overview
@jaffathecake This article claims that LLMs are always transformers. This is not true, in fact the first LLMs were LSTMs (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04517).
-
@firefoxwebdevs Can you clarify the distinction you’re making between LLMs and open data? Was the latter collected with consent?
@knowler @firefoxwebdevs it absolutely was not! he means "open data" as in "we found it lying around, bugger the license" https://mas.to/@twifkak/115849848003348176

@firefoxwebdevs what exactly do you refer to as „open data”?

@wes @firefoxwebdevs @liquor_american so do I, but also it should be an extension

@firefoxwebdevs what about an "AI enable" switch that is off by default
that would be cool

@mdavis @firefoxwebdevs I don't like the word "idiot". But a programmer who would use LLM codegen is a programmer with bad judgement. A programmer who has bad judgement cannot spot the errors made by LLM codegen. QED.
Anyway I already got what I wanted: Servo, the web browser which will replace Firefox, has *already* banned "AI" code contributions. So it's only a matter of time before Servo is complete enough for day to day use, and I can delete the AI-infected Firefox from my computer.

Androidiani.net: un nuovo inizio per una community che non vuole fermarsi
Era impossibile restare indifferenti leggendo l’ultimo saluto di Androidiani.com. Quel messaggio ha segnato la fine di un’era, ma anche l’inizio di qualcosa di nuovo: la consapevolezza che una community come quella degli #Androidiani non può davvero “chiudere”.

Dopo la pausa natalizia riparto anche con le mie interviste agli sviluppatori italiani.
Stasera ho sentito due dei creatori di Half Away, un videogioco ispirato al folklore slavo e a quello giapponese.
Tra l'altro ho giocato il loro Half Away durante le vacanze.
In realtà l'ho iniziato ma non concluso perché poi mi sono messo a giocare a un sacco di altre cose.
Che ne penso di Half Away?
Se ne parla qui nel video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHE4Vc5tpls
