Yes, a sentence predicting machine in a web doc site is a terrible idea, calling it ‘AI’ is too. (And yes, so was the crypto stuff they tried a while back)Let's also acknowledge though, how the money in tech flows in ways that makes it hard to sustain such web doc sites (and easier to sustain all the stuff the money flows more easily to). MDN is underfunded and understaffed. Neither are an excuse, but maybe a reason to cut them *some* slack? They make a unique and great site.

Other browser companies are definitely building, funding and/or including the chatbotty thingies into their own products. At least a lot of Mozilla's AI investments were into for-the-greater-good things like Common Voice, to build open source voice technology. In any case, I hope they don't decide to put the chatbot back into MDN, I too think it will harm more than it will help.

✏️ It's pretty rude of OpenAI to make their use of your content opt-out https://hidde.blog/llm-theft-opt-out/

I was sent a Dropbox link to a PDF. On mobile Firefox, I got a ‘browser not supported’ message. In Safari, I then got a screen that was 30% ads for the app (which I do have installed), 50% cookie consent and 20% actual content. The 2023 web is in a state…:yelling-at-cloud:

Scarlett Johansson says OpenAI approached her to use her voice long before it was released. She said no and they still took it. https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1252495087/openai-pulls-ai-voice-that-was-compared-to-scarlett-johansson-in-the-movie-her Now, in a blog post OpenAI says: “Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson” https://openai.com/index/how-the-voices-for-chatgpt-were-chosen/ But their CEO even tweeted the word “her” as a way of announcing the voice. post truth much? this company just keeps on grabbing what isn't theirs

“it's perfect. If it's not, prove me wrong!” is a style of argumentation I wish less people would use

0 days since I heard someone in the business part of the train do a meeting on speaker. “This quarters financials seem better than expected, but… oh wait are you still …” I love trains, I also love silence.

Dude's currently testing the hypothesis of whether talking louder will improve signal (I know because he said he will).
