Mozilla is soliciting feedback on AI in Firefox and the community is delivering.

Two words : DEFAULT OPT-OUT

@amoroso aaaaand added my 2c. Also, does the announcement read "AI"-generated to anyone else or just me?! What the fuck.

@amoroso
In the entire first page of replies, I see one "I want it to be different" and every other response is "I don't want it at all".
I don't understand why leadership wants this so badly. I mean, I joke about CEOs who chose a shirt size at age 19 and now are fatter and hypoxic, but is that really it? Is there some other property inherent to the C-suite that makes them bad at decisions?

@amoroso I love your reply:

"The only AI related thing I want is a single, prominent, easily accessible switch to turn off absolutely all opt-out AI features. No chasing about:config entries."

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@niavy Agreed.

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@amberage Yes it smells like that.

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@silvermoon82 Mozilla's leadership is coming from the same industry that's forcing AI down people's throaths.

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@hectorjcorrea Thanks, it's just common sense.

[dave_cochran@infosec.exchange]

@amoroso do we think they're gonna listen this time, or is it more of a "we solicited the feedback and then did what we wanted anyway" kinda thing?

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@dave_cochran I'd say the latter.
