Actually, aren&#x27;t <i>all</i> browser extensions a security nightmare?<p>Or has something changed recently?

&gt;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&#x27;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 &quot;security issues&quot; mentioned in the article are true for browser extensions,and perhaps even software in general.<p>Then the author talks about &quot;copyright mess&quot; just before describing how it is pretty much resolved in their company (copilot banned).<p>The only real &quot;problem with AI&quot; is really a &quot;problem with cloud&quot; or more precisely &quot;problem with people&#x27;s lack of understanding of it&quot;. Average people should be interested in finding software alternatives that don&#x27;t undermine their privacy.<p>For example look at AI image up scaling. Every single android app other than mine sends user&#x27;s images to a server somewhere. Are those images retained? Are they scanned for whatever &quot;legal purposes&quot; 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&#x27;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).

&gt; <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&#x27;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 &gt;= human, or that LLM are not intelligence because they&#x27;re *just* statistical models?</i>

Only skimmed through the article, it seems -AI from the title would be an old story?<p>Also, that huge 4.7MB image in the head of the article...

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.

Browser Extensions Are a Security Nightmare - I guess you can add AI in front to make it seem new.

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&#x27;s not even a choice for me I&#x27;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&#x27;t even breathe without constant hiccup interruption I don&#x27;t know how to make it stop and I&#x27;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 &quot;AI&quot; ran entirely locally? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pagevau.lt&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pagevau.lt&#x2F;</a>

The issue is not AI, nor browser extensions per se, the issue is the lackluster permission system that Chrome extensions have, it&#x27;s pretty similar to what Android had 7 (?) years ago, which should not be acceptable in 2023.

Pretty much every single extension that isn&#x27;t uBlock Origin is a security nightmare.
