Why would Mozilla make AI so they could steal personal information when they already own the browser that gives the information to the AI

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The AI is claimed to be local.. Did you know that even local AIs are able to contact the internet again? So without knowing a local LLM system might execute some HTTPS calls for you, without knowing.

Except its open source. So it would last all of 4 seconds before being called out. Those HTTPS calls are a separate service the LLM will access not a part of the LLM itself.
