"firefox's privacy-first AI has features you can trust"

pal the trust horse left the barn ages ago there

Some folks seem not to understand:

1. Using a local AI agent does not mean data isn't being mined and returned.

2. Differential privacy tends to augment other privacy-by-design, it cannot replace it.

The first 2 items apply to every company, not just Mozilla. But:

3. Mozilla has already opted for and announced an ad-first strategy. They chose the path.

@neurovagrant I won't taint my system with anything from Mozilla, so won't be testing this, but 100% agree that they are very likely collecting at least summary telemetry (if they do more than that they are effectively lying in their posts/EULA). This is measurable tho. So hopefully some privacy advocates will do that.
@hrbrmstr @neurovagrant After chatting with the Thunderbird folks on here, I'm not ditching that yet. They convinced me that their project really is separate from the Firefox project, despite the amount of shared code and features and, you know, Mozilla. Also I'm old and can only learn so many new tools at a time. πŸ˜†
