Mozilla has a huge amount of information already submitted by volunteers to train their own specific-subject LLM.

And as we saw from Meta's nearly ethical-consideration-devoid CM3Leon (no i will not pronounce it "Chameleon") paper, you don't need a huge dataset to train if you supplement with your own preconfigured biases. For better or worse.

Just because something is "AI-powered" doesn't mean the training datasets have to be acquired without ethics. Even if there is something to be said for making material public and the inevitable consequences it can be used.

I hope whoever gets the job can help pave the way for ethics standards in AI research.

Interesting, but probably harmless if it's one-shot. In general, it seems like a bad idea. Not any better or worse than other recommendations systems. Mozilla should look into FHE.

Yeeeeeah this is a little sus. AI is more about surveillance than actually providing a service but let them cook I guess? Maybe they're just following the marketing trends and the trends say put AI somewhere in your ad copy to get people to look at you. Just another buzzword...I hope.

AI topic is getting crazy, just got a request at work to investigate and figure out how AI can could be used at our own company. Not that there's real need, just to be sure...

I don't think it's odd. They can use data, that they already have and make us of it.
