@davidgerard every encounter I have with a mozilla employee involves them pretending to speak for a community I’m a member of and playing fuckface word games when an actual member of the community tells them they’re misrepresenting us.
no, nobody doing AI critique is confused about what we’re criticizing. that doesn’t make sense. but mozilla would like to convince us we’re mad about a pre-LLM translation model or whatever’s convenient. we’ve dealt with that form of critihype before.
@stevemarshall @axemonkey lots of users are asking for it where? Forums? Reddit? Private email? Where?
It seems like you don't know and don't care who your users actually are. Hard no to AI in firefox.
@3psboyd I'd like to throw a "All of Aristotle's works found intact in a cave somewhere" in there.
Though I might be out of bounds of the spirit of the thing.
@firefoxwebdevs @SamatSattarov and while we’re here
I know it’s very popular among PR fuckfaces to claim that your justifiably angry users are confused as a way to control the discussion.
none of us are confused. all of us know a dark pattern when we see it. plenty of us have had to implement them for our dickhead employers. none of us want our consent violated by a browser we’ve previously done advocacy for. no, you don’t get to dictate what a consent violation looks like for your users.
