TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

    I haven’t seen a transphobe that didn’t also share authoritarian ideas when it comes to suppressing trans folk. Do you not see how that would be just as bad as a tankie having a bias in propping up non-Western dictatorships?

      Fair! The only reason I’m still here on Lemmy is because it’s open source and I can defederate from them, but Ladybird’s motives certainly bear scrutiny. However, I’m sure that we’ll get a full rundown on privacy and security when it’s in a truly unable state.

        Fantastical! But unfortunately my dog is long gone. He is not just literally dead but has also phonetically, epidermally, notoriously, capricorniously, double-retro-undokiecongeably, irrelephantly, incognizantastically well distributed among air particles. Redonkeoulous right?
