5 minutes agoFor anybody unaware, their new privacy notice essentially states that if you opt in to using a third party LLM within Firefox, the LLM provider will get the info that you give to the LLM.

Brave will support it until it becomes inconvenient to do so as the Chromium base keeps moving everywhere onwards.
Regardless, Brave have their own skeletons in the closet… crypto, installing other Brave applications during browser install without consent, injecting their affiliate links when nobody asked, a CEO who donated money to homophobic causes more than once.
I think another major point to consider going forward is if it is problematic if people can generate all sorts of illegal stuff. If it is AI generated it is a victimless crime, so should it be illegal? I personally feel uncomfortable with the thought of several things being legal, but I can’t logically argue for it being illegal without a victim.
I’ve been thinking about this recently too, and I have similar feelings.
I’m just gonna come out and say it without beating around the bush: what is the law’s position on AI-generated child porn?
More importantly, what should it be?
It probably goes without saying that the training data absolutely should not contain CP, for reasons that should be obvious to anybody. But what if it wasn’t?
If we’re basing the law on pragmatism rather than emotional reaction, I guess it comes down to whether creating this material would embolden paedophiles and lead to more predatory behaviour, or whether it would satisfy their desires enough to cause a substantial drop in predatory behaviour.
And to know that, we’d need extensive and extremely controversial studies. Beyond that, even in the event allowing this stuff to be generated is an overall positive (and I don’t know whether it would or won’t), will many politicians actually call for this stuff to be allowed? Seems like the kind of thing that could ruin a political career. Nobody’s touching that with a ten foot pole.
Doing some digging, this is what has been added to the privacy notice:
You have the option to use a third-party AI chatbot of your choice to help you with things like summarizing what you’re reading, writing and brainstorming ideas, subject to that provider’s terms of use and privacy notice.
If you choose to enable a chatbot in the sidebar and/or through a shortcut, Mozilla does not have access to your conversations or the underlying content you input into the selected chatbot. We do collect technical and interaction data on how this feature is used to help improve Firefox, such as how often each third-party chatbot provider is chosen, how often suggested prompts are used, and the length of selected text.
In other words, there will be opt-in LLM functionality that can be tied to third party providers. When you submit information to them… they have that data… the data falls under their privacy policies, not Mozilla’s.

I don’t think it will be worse, but it obviously could be far worse
1·10 hours agoPeople in the UK are more likely to drive new cars than France, and only just behind Germany.
It’s true that our drop is a third of Germany and France’s, but it’s also true that they were buying far more Tesla cars to begin with.
In January 2024, Germany bought 3150 Tesla cars, France bought 3118, and the UK bought 1581. They were buying double our amount.
Germany and France’s numbers have now massively dropped, and are now in line with UK numbers.
Our percentage drop is lower only because we were already iffy on Tesla, whereas Germany and France weren’t.
Is this going to be another thing like the porn law Theresa May pushed for? The one that made face-sitting, fingering with more than two fingers, “inflicting pain” (this was worded so vaguely that it could include things as mundane as spanking), bondage, and female ejaculation illegal?
2024 was certainly far from his best season, but in 2023 he was battling for 2nd in the WDC in the 4th best car, and in some races it was easily worse than that.
Even under regulations that don’t suit his style, Lewis can still be rapid.
If you’re talking about the recent news, that’s not what the updated privacy notice says.
Mozilla will be adding opt in LLM functionality to Firefox. It can use third party LLM providers. The privacy has been updated to say “btw, any info you give to this LLM will be processed by the LLM by a third party.” I.e. the LLM provider has the data once you send it to them.
