90% of these comments didn't even read the article. Its local only, and doesn't even send data to mozilla.

Yet...

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 9 months 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.
