>Actually, the current AI situation may be even more perilous than Jurassic Park. In that film, the misguided science that brought dinosaurs back to life was at least confined to a single island and controlled by a single corporation. In our current reality, the dinosaurs are loose, and anyone who wants to can play with one.<p>I'm really tired of reading stuff like this above. Seriously, AI is a disruptive tech and some people will oppose any change, but this is too much. All of the "security issues" mentioned in the article are true for browser extensions,and perhaps even software in general.<p>Then the author talks about "copyright mess" just before describing how it is pretty much resolved in their company (copilot banned).<p>The only real "problem with AI" is really a "problem with cloud" or more precisely "problem with people's lack of understanding of it". Average people should be interested in finding software alternatives that don't undermine their privacy.<p>For example look at AI image up scaling. Every single android app other than mine sends user's images to a server somewhere. Are those images retained? Are they scanned for whatever "legal purposes" the maker deems adequate? No one knows. No one cares. Well specifically in the entire world about 90 people seem to care.<p>Why 90 people? Because that's how many users my android app has 6 months after release. (the app does all processing locally, free version is ad supported, paid version can be used 100% offline).
> <i>Yes, large language models (LLMs) are not actually AI in that they are not actually intelligent, but we’re going to use the common nomenclature here.<p>I'm sorry for the off-topic comment, but why do I keep seeing this? What am I missing here – is it that some people define intelligence as >= human, or that LLM are not intelligence because they're *just* statistical models?</i>
I wonder when we’ll start seeing computer viruses that communicate with a remote LLM in order to get help circumventing barriers.<p>Alternatively, maybe anti-virus software can phone home to get on-the-fly advice.
I have perment unstoppable hiccups that have occurred in the last week or so. Nothing I have tried has made them stop in fact I just hit up more every time I try to report record anything. I would like to just breathe without having hiccups and it's not even a choice for me I'm not even permitted to even attempt to stop this Behavior May hiccups are constant and unending. I have run out of ideas of who to pursue for help this is just Agony I can't even breathe without constant hiccup interruption I don't know how to make it stop and I'll do anything at this point.
I do not understand how is it possible that Internet browsers do not currently have already built-in firewall that allows the user to control where the connection requests in the browser in general -the tab, the loaded web, the addon- are going to and from, and filter them.
But what is the "AI" ran entirely locally?

The issue is not AI, nor browser extensions per se, the issue is the lackluster permission system that Chrome extensions have, it's pretty similar to what Android had 7 (?) years ago, which should not be acceptable in 2023.
