but...

why would you ever want something like this?

fuck the AI cruft. i can't understand opt-in/ opt-out as an argument

It is not a technology. It is a waste of resources to do a bad implementation of a chatbot from the 1970's so a bunch of sociopathic techbros can siphon money for themselves.

The slop extruders aren't even useful except for doing evil things like scams, spam, and disinformation at scale.

Once the bubble finishes imploding (it's well along the way already), there will not be new gigantic models. The astronomical costs don't justify it. They don't even justify continuing to offer the existing ones at affordable prices. The existing public models you can run client-side will of course still exist but will be increastingly outdated. This will not be a complete wipe-out, but it will be close.

Your only arguments are insults so it gives a clear definition of yourself.

I work for private clients by the way, not for law enforcement. Maybe try to learn what the word "consultant" means.

If you want to install it, it should be a third-party extension provided by the slop provider, and subject to the same access controls all extensions are subject to.

Yes, we need Vivaldi devs to keep removing the torment nexus code from Chromium when they use it for development. We desperately need web browsers that don't further the goals of technofascism and don't burn down forests and drain lakes with every "prompt."

Yes, it should be illegal too.

i'm not opposed to the APIs in principle - LLM technology is simply not going away, and there are actually decent use cases for them, and I oppose the current status quo of just shipping it all to OpenAI or Anthropic's cloud server

My biggest concern is that no two LLM models will ever behave in the same way as each other, so sites & users that expect Google's Gemini model, wouldn't have the same experience as if say Safari had this with one of their on device models. And maybe by some pure miracle we could convince all the implementations to standardise on one model (not happening) - you can't ever update that model as newer ones are developed without breaking those expectations (also why the extension model wouldn't really work)

No, no planet killing "extension," either. Gen AI should be illegal.

Wow, bootlicker sure loves the planet killing torment nexus slop bot!

No, planet destroying shouldn't be a software option. Stop using Vivaldi, leave Vivaldi for decent human beings who love humanity and preserving the environment.
