    Whats funny is I think there should be good local ai but its still something that needs development and work. It makes no sense to me to be in the browser. I see this again akin to graphics. I would like to see an os that has one that is strictly about the os. After installation maybe you could have additional modules to expand its scope or agents where it acts as a central interface. A kind of head butler.

    according to Raffi Krikorian, Mozilla’s chief technology officer, “I want us to each have an AGI that’s truly on our side, not on someone else’s side.”

    Therein lies the my issue with all these companies forcing AI into every crevice of our lives, They want.

    Even open source AI used for needless purposes contributes to wasteful resource usage that harms the environment just as much.

      Agreed. The energy use in training and running, its stochastic nature which causes hallucinations and wrong results, and the deeply harmful long-term psychological effects on users who abdicate their own reasoning to LLMs, is ultimately more harmful than useful. Doesn’t matter if the models are ‘open weight’, OSS, and totally ‘free’.

      And, please, everyone, stop calling it ‘AI’. It’s not Intelligent. It’s a probabilistic regurgitator. Maybe some (human-written!) reasoning systems on top of that, but it isn’t intelligent or sentient.

        Ideally, the end user by not partaking in shitty AI products, but I don’t have much faith in the average consumer’s aversion to slop.

        AI is being injected into everything without any consideration for its necessity, privacy implications, or environmental impact.
