@Waterfox@mastodon.social Hi, We're currently looking around for a new webbrowser on account of all the "AI" stuff, this statement looks promising, though, if We may, We'd like to hear some more direct statements about where Waterfox as a project stands. In decreasing order of relevance: What are the politics of Waterfox? In general, but in particular regarding marginalized folks such as black and/or queer individuals? What critiques does the project usually get about its politics and what's the stance on those? The blogpost focuses on the usage of "AI"/LLM in the context of webbrowser usage, but what is the stance on the technology of "generative" "AI" as a whole? In particular relating to the financial bubble around it, the slave labor necessary to create it, the poisoning of the web, climate destabilization and energy grid degradation that it causes? What about locally ran models? The blogpost mentions that "LLMs have utility, measurably so" - Which is that? The Waterfox repository has a folder for the Zed editor, of which a key feature is the integration of LLMs. Is "AI"/LLM produced code used in the Waterfox project? Are "AI"/LLM produced code contributions accepted? The Waterfox.com 404 page includes the following image: https://www.waterfox.com/_astro/astronaut-nobg.CW-JfQlf_Z125kPS.png - Is this made by an artist, and, if so, whom?
