It sucks that it overshadows the actual news.

On the plus side, this post serves as a wonderful tool to clean up some garbage users/servers.

Damn, those are not rookie numbers!

I hope they managed to grab some content creators.

Yeah, I don't think they would have been fired if they had just held a vigil without shitting all over their employers brands.

It's easy to nitpick all the details in the video, but keep in mind that 2 years ago generative AI videos consisted mostly of shape shifting mosaics that vaguely resembled the things they were supposed to be. And now we're down to "in this frame the 10x10 pixel airplane has a third wing".

That doesn't excuse the use of copyrighted material to get to this point, mind you. But to claim that this tech is going nowhere is just a contextless circlejerk.

Now that sounds like the job for an extension, since for most users "stfu and always apply the fix" would be the preferred option.

How about, if you want a broken version of Firefox, you compile it yourself, rather than let everyone else suffer?
Like, the vast majority of browser users don't even know what an extension is, let alone install one.

I like the thought, but I can't imagine that most people will enjoy getting even more popups when they load up a site, especially when they come from the browser itself.

Just take a look at OP here. If they responds this way to settings that are there for their actual benefit - just imagine how much they'll like those popups.

Awww, it learned to write a word without understanding what it means.

Saw a great video about this (project is still ongoing).

It's one thing to claim that the current machine learning approach won't lead to AGI, which I can get behind. But this article claims AGI is impossible simply because there are not enough physical resources in the world? That's a stretch.

It's "funny", because without that injection from Google, Mozilla would surely die. And the only reason Google hasn't stopped doing that is because then Chrome (Blink) would be more likely to be treated as a monopoly.

 

In a blog post released on Monday, VP of Privacy Sandbox Anthony Chavez said that Google is “proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice” by allowing users to select whether or not they want to enable cookies on Chrome and adjust that choice “at any time.”

“Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing,” Chavez wrote.
