I’m telling you as a blanket statement that AI Translators are not reliable. That much is easily verifiable. You’re the one speaking in riddles of a magical translator in the fogs of firefox that does work, with no evidence.

So you don’t know the name of the model they use? Is it even accessible?

You want examples but you never disclosed which product you’re asking about, and why should I give a damn in the first place? I shouldn’t have to present an absence of evidence of it working to prove it doesn’t work.

LLM and ML generated translations generate a series of tokens individually. That’s why AI Chatbots hallucinate so often, they decide the next most likely word in a sequence is “No” when the correct answer would be “Yes” and then the rest of the prompt devolves into convincing nonsense.

Sentences are a lot like math problems. An incorrect part changes the entire outcome.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for profit entity owned by the Mozilla Foundation, which lets them claim to be a nonprofit, which is a sketchy looking way to set up and promote your business if nothing else. They get most of their money from Google and they’ve been riding AI like all the other unethical companies.

Thank you for your explanation, tbat greatly clears up my confusion.
TBH, if a person’s concern is being tracked by, for example, Facebook; then this just lets Facebook continue tracking them without directly allowing Facebook’s anaylitics customers to track them to another site directly (but indirectly that information can still be provided). But I guess for all the people giving FB and Google those proviledges better to have this than not.

I still much rather have it than not. It also lead to the spiritual successor GPC which does actually have regulatory requirements under the CCPA.

For supposed anarchists they seem to say exactly the same things as a CCP cuck would. They banned me for arguing on a meme they posted about how awful “Western Democracies” are.

Yeah, Waterfox is just another browser built on top of the Mozilla’s GECKO engine. But without all the AI dickriding.

Facbook recieved the mother of all fines of 5 Bn USD and lost 725 Mn USD in lawsuits over Cambridge Analytica despite there not being any evidence Facebook new of the firm’s connection to Russia.
Any notion that they profited from that scandal or would do so in the future is pretty absurd.

Also scams. They know you, your name, your contacts, dob, where you work, where you spend leisure time, your face, your house layout, and from your message details probably your darkest secrets and ssn.
Chinese online and over the phone scams have been surging massively in the past few years.

And also for scams or other fraud campaigns.
For me its hard to believe massive widespread “pig butchering” scams are being orchestrated by some random Chinese thugs with no affiliation.

Facebook spent years in court just to get hit with the largest fine in the history of fines, 5,000,000,000.00 USD. They also payed another 725,000,000.00 in lawsuits.
All for selling to a British market research company that they had no idea was a Russian shell.
Idk how much you think they made off the deal, but probably nowhere close to as much as they lost.

As we illustrated several times in this thread, an American Company collecting your data is a lower risk than an adversarial dictatorship’s military operation collecting your data for free (or even for profit as a cherry on top).

Slrpnk just feels like masked up tankies. They’re even opaquely opposing the TikTok ban lol.

A large amount but at 500ms+ latency it might as well be useless for most applications.

Everyone was always joking about how AI should just replace CEOs, but it turns out CEOs are so easily to lead by the nose that AI companies practically already run the show.

Two things that would be nice to have is:
