You can’t say there isn’t anything to it. But for sure I agree it isn’t the whole story.

Which one is that. I guess I’ve been left out of the loop.

That’s a strawman. It is not like that at all and I never said it was. I even specifically said that I know the reason it is like it is. I do know how to work with it. And no, I have an ideology, something I mentioned many times : I’m a pragmatist.

Many developers have narrow views. Probably most have.

That my view is narrow and that developers somehow can’t have narrow views.

There are many misconceptions in your short sentence.

The number of people who act like that is negligible. We tested for that.

We don’t see it as that we are sloppy but that Firefox is not a good browser. We came to that conclusion because no other browser acts like that.

I work in web and app development company and we don’t check Firefox anymore, because it’s the only outlier and has not many users. But mainly because we wouldn’t have to do it for any other browser specifically and Firefox is not special in any way. The errors come from it being more strict, which might sound good, but it’s actually really just inconvenient. The errors go from image alignment issues to apps not working at all. We don’t fix any of that.

You missed the point again, oh dear! Let me try again in simpler terms : you yourself dont define words, how they are used in the public does. So if the world calls it ai, then the word will mean what everybody means when they use it.

This is how the words come to be, evolve and are at the end put in the dictionary. Nobody cares what you think. Ai today includes ML. Get over it.

Nice try with deflection attempts, but I really don’t care about them, I’m only here to teach you where words come from and to tell you, the article is written about you.

Also that I’m out of time for this. Bye.

Well not at all. What a word means is not defined by what you might think. When the majority starts to use a word for something and that sticks, it can be adopted. That happens all the time and I have read articles about it many times. Even for our current predicament. Language is evolving. Meanings change. And yes ai today includes what is technically machine learning. Sorry friend, that’s how it works. Sure you can be the grumpy drunk at a bar complaining that this is not strictly ai by some definition while the rest of the world rolls their eyes and proceeds to more meaningful debates.

Yes, lots of people are using this argument when reacting negatively.

What a dumb and petty response.

Bye.

Oh a knight in shining armour trying to defend my dialogue partner?

Did you ask anyone needed defense? Because I’m pretty sure they don’t.

If you read carefully I wrote “or something” at the end implying that I don’t know exactly what they believe. It was not that subtle of invitation for them to agree with my first assessment or correct me. I will try to be really blunt in the future, so that you don’t missunderstand again.

I didn’t want to put words in your mouth, but wanted to clear up where each of us stand so there is no missunderstanding.

If somebody gains control of your computer today, that’s a massive privacy and security hole in itself.

You can define almost anything as a security risk. But we aren’t children to play such stupid games.

We are talking about someone gaining that information and the probability of that happening without even knowing what security mesaures will be in place. I think the risk is negligible even today with the limited information about it that we have now. Other People here, presumably you as well are hysterical about it.

Thats what the discussion is. You actually believe Microsoft will launch this and then everybody will be hacked or something. I think that is… not smart.

This is a feature hundreds of millions of people will use and very likely won’t cause any security issues. These doomsday scenarios every Linux user here is predicting is a bit much, don’t you think so?
