What you’re talking about is if AI is actually inventing new work (imo, yes it is), but that’s not the issue.

The issue is these models were trained on our collective knowledge & culture without permission, then sold back to us.

Unless they use only proprietary & public training data, every single one of these models should be open sourced/weighted & free for anyone to use, like libraries.

Thx, that’s exactly my concern as I remember it being an issue when I was flashing ROMs in the past.

I wonder if Square would still work, for example? I haven’t flashed open source ROMs on my phone since like 2012.

Honestly though, I just consider the phone a lost cause when it comes to privacy & use it accordingly. Uncle Googs is always watching, even when the damn thing is turned off.

Mullvad is really for anonymous sessions. It’s meant to blend in with every other Mullvad instance on the Net so it helps make users harder to identify. It’s not geared towards daily use.

On desktop, I switched to Librewolf and installed the Dark Reader add-on.

I will continue using Firefox on Android because I have absolutely no illusions about my privacy on this fucking thing.

Didn’t they also elude to collecting telemetry recently? I know it’s up for some debate but, if true, I’m not sure that’s a thing we can turn off.
