With all the discussion around detecting when a code repo contains commits authored by an LLM, I think it is important to note commits like the following in Mozilla Firefox from 2 weeks ago:

"Bug 2011195 - When an agent commits, don't add itself as author"

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a400dbd434e4df37087960d94b764791

I don't think it's a good thing that Mozilla seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox.

@sarahjamielewis
Yet another reason to abandon Firefox and Mozilla in general.

Edit: Use NetSurf or Lynx. Or just curl or wget.

@jbowen @sarahjamielewis we need a new browser, its kinda ovbious, both the major browsers are horrible companies now. We need a new browser, we need it to be big, and paid devs to work on it. Volenteer based projects are cool, but there needs to be money behind if

@skymtf @sarahjamielewis @jbowen I'm personally hoping that Orion by the Kagi devs will be good. I've been pleased with their search so far.

Kagi is hot garbage, sorry to say.

They're also wasting tons of resources developing AI slop, and don't understand basic privacy concepts either:
