Comment on MemoryCache, a Mozilla Innovation Project
fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoOpen source project focused on giving people features they want but in a privacy and censorship resistant way. Classic Moz
but it is not a feature i want. not now, not ever. An inbuilt bullshit generator, now with less training and more bullshit is not something I ever asked for.
Training one of these ais requires huge datacenters, insanely huge datasets and millions of dollars in resources. And I’m supposed to believe one will be effectively trained by the pittance of data generated by browsing?
Yes but I like it, so where do we go from here?
You clearly are wrong and you should feel bad /s
Fine running is more possible on end user hardware. You also have projects like hive mind and petals that working on distributed training and inference systems to deal with the concentration effects of this you described for base models.

Seriously, what’s with all the Mozilla hate on Lemmy? People bitch about almost everything they do. Sometimes it feels like, because it’s non-profit/open-source, people have this idealized vision of a monastery full of impoverished, but zealous, single-minded monks working feverishly and never deviating from a very tiny mission.
Cards on the table, I remain an AI skeptic, but I also recognize that it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. I vastly prefer to see folks like Mozilla branching out into the space a little than to have them ignore it entirely and cede the space to corporate interests/advertisers.

Can you show some examples of where people complain about Mozilla taking Google money?
Because when I complain about Mozilla, it’s because they fired their employees while bloating the salary of their CEO, that Firefox languishes while they throw in privacy invasive junk that nobody asked for.
