What’s worse…you could always toggle it. In fact, you could re-route it to your own local LLM.

“Firefox is including an AI murder switch so that heartless users can take the life of our helpful little robot guy who just wants to see you happy. We added it because not everybody is a good person.” -Mozilla CEO.
Or maybe you should just get over your superior self and let people have fun.
