    1. Yes, it would allow any website to run a local LLM. Maybe the browser would prompt you to confirm though. Not sure about that.
    2. Browser makers have worked for decades to make browsers standardized and compatible. As the article and the excerpt says, users and website developers will want a standard experience between Chrome and Firefox. If they rely on LLMs to perform functional work, like a semantic search function, they would want browsers to be roughly the same. Different models can vary tremendously depending on the tasks. Web developers aren’t just going to use this for a typical chat bot, they are going to use it for intermediate tasks as part of other functionality. So Firefox would be pressured to provide that consistency by adopting the specific model that Google chooses.






  • I agree, there are legitimate writers who use em dashes often, but I think this tool also helps you distinguish those from AI-generated content. There’s a different quality in the way AI generated text uses the em-dash. Often the ratio of em-dashes to the rest of the text is much higher, and it’s usually used to complete a point, as opposed to an interjection like you just did in your comment. I think that’s easy to spot when you know to look for it.









  • Fair point. I can see how a bubble burst might not recover those discarded wafers, assuming that story is true. However, I’d still imagine that if the bubble did burst, there would naturally be a reduction in demand for memory, and that would cool prices at least a bit. Certainly time will tell. It’s still difficult to predict the direction this is all going in.
