    I mean, as long as you can tell it’s not opening up any network connections (e.g. by not giving the process network permission), it’s fine.

    'Course, being built into a web browser might not make that easy…

      Sums up my thoughts nicely. I am by no means able to make sense of the inner workings of an llm anyway, even if I can look at its code. At best i would be able to learn how to tweak its results to my needs or maybe provide it with additional datasets over time.

      I simply trust that an open source model that is able to run offline, and doesnt call home somewhere with telemetry, has been vetted for trustworthiness by far more qualified people than me.

      I’m not interested in AI, but if it’s not touching the network, I might leave it enabled. We’ll see.

      All I want from Firefox is to keep up on web standards, implement security features, and improve performance. I don’t particularly care about most of the rest of the browser features they throw in.
