I can remember in the late 1990's Berkeley Public Library was considering adding RFID tags to the books as asset tags. The public push-back was significant and surprising at the time. Freedom-loving library patrons were concerned about nefarious tracking. Proponents of the new tags thought that the concept of tracking people or the books they read was rooted in paranoia.

In a very real way there ARE malicious AI agents working tirelessly to create and spread memes via language and sound to alter our brain software.

The latency is in the audience/performer energy.

That's almost 12 years now. A novice can now get ATmega32 USB devices Prime delivered. Not a cutting edge theoretical attack anymore but a basic tool in a every pen tester's toolbox now.

Mozilla makes great points. Even if the API is model agnostic, which it ought to be designed as from the very beginning to even be considered a spec, models can act vastly different.

Mozilla didn't say this but the user should at least be presented an option to choose which model (at least once) starting from day one, even if your browser only has one option available. That's assuming a universe where Google plans on actually being concerned about standards adoption.

Honestly, why should I even believe it?

It's good to have something to work with if these Web APIs are going to be part of a standard. I suppose this means that ALL the browser vendors are likely to implement something

I know that there might be $several ways those highly-paid engineers might still rationalize their work. Some of them might have ideological reasons to treat entire classes of people as unworthy of life. Within the model of their ideologies, the most evil things might be perfectly moral.

I wonder what reasons you have to disagree with people's moral stance against using AI as a weapon.

No statements or blogs from AA explaining the metadata removal, or an updated release timeline.

Can anyone say more?

Absolutely no AI company is trying to take up this banner. Examples of Claude being used in all kinds of nefarious ways are surfacing all the time, and all those human operators are still current customers. Anthropic has very little to say on the matter.

The idea that Anthropic is a "safety" brand suggests that AI companies operate in a much lower realm of morality.
