    I didn't mean it as VR being useless - I'm sure it can be useful for some applications or fun for gaming - my point was that you shouldn't fear getting left behind just for not having an Apple Vision Pro app or a land in the Metaverse :)

    Another way to see this: Hammers can be useful, the Internet can be useful, but this doesn't mean that as a hammer manufacturer you should make your next hammer an IoT product ASAP or you will be left behind.

    Many thing are "here to stay", should Mozilla also implement a "share with TikTok" functionality into their browser?

    > or get left behind.

    Last time I heard this phrase it was about VR, and before that it was NFTs. I wished the tech community wasn't so susceptible to FOMO sentiments.

    Meanwhile MI6 offers an onion service for secure communications:

    Thanks for those links, I read a couple of the cited comments on those cases and still cannot find any mentions of restrictions for engineers who at some point in the past had access to the code.

    Nordstrom Consulting v. M&S Technologies, which is possibly the most relevant case, describes a process for developing under a clean room environment and from what I understand it seems to focus on isolation of engineering teams and resources (except when required for interoperability). I did not find mentions of assessing the cohort of engineers for prior access to the copyrighted material but if I have missed that please let me know.

    I also wanted to say that I am not asking this because I am thinking to start an unethical license laundering business, I am only trying to understand the meaning of making LLMs legally equivalent to human workers.

    Could you share a source for this definition? As far as I know it means no having access to the code only during the implementation of the new project

    In a sane world I would have agreed but in the US at least I am not certain this is still true: In Bartz v. Anthropic, Judge Alsup expressed his views that the work of an LLM is equivalent to the one of a person, see around page 12 where he argues that human recalling things from memory and AI inference are effectively the same from a legal perspective

    To me this makes the clean-room distinction very hard to assert, what am I missing?

    That's strange, which OS? I am on Arch and also on 145 and I get the "Ask an AI Chatbot" in the context menu. The settings used to work in the past so I am not sure what's going on.

    I believe these are all the settings I have disabled for AI:

    browser.ml.chat.enabled

    browser.ml.chat.menu

    browser.ml.chat.page

    browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge

    browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge

    browser.ml.chat.shortcuts

    browser.ml.chat.sidebar

    browser.ml.enable

    browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled

    browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled

    browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled

    browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnable

    browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

    extensions.ml.enabled

    sidebar.notification.badge.aichat

    Am I missing anything?

    It does feel wrong because in our society having access to more financial resources often translates to better representation in the courtroom. This is similar to how donating to organizations like the EFF can provide more justice to those who are not multibillion-dollar corporations.

    There is a fundraising for that organised by their union (IWGB Game Workers):
