       You know that 4GB AI model that Google Chrome silently installs on your machine?Keep in mind that the Chrome team decided to do that because *they thought it was a good idea*.  If user outrage is sufficient to cause that decision to be rolled back, they'll still push the same AI features, only hosted remotely instead of locally.If you're going to trust software from a development team somewhere, you are making a decision to trust their processes and to accept their pressures.Choose wisely.
