    Orbit currently uses a version of Mistral LLM (Mistral 7B) that is locally hosted on Mozilla’s Google Cloud Platform instance.

    Hmm.

    >locally hosted

    >Google Cloud

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

      Sounds like they’re running their own LLM instance on googles cloud infrastructure vs using something like OpenAI via API.

      As web dev parlance it makes sense but for marketing it is definitely confusing and they should do better.

        Yeah, we “self-host” our app at AWS at work, which means we configure everything ourselves. I “self-host” a VPS at Hetzner for personal projects, and my actual data is actually self-hosted on a machine on my LAN.

    why are they promoting web-based mail when their email solution is thunderbird?

      Thunderbird is more a community project that’s outside of Mozilla’s jurisdiction at this point

    AI you can trust

    Lost me there

    Easily summarize emails

    Haha “Give us access to all your emails for data and corporate espionage we pwomise nothing bad will be done with it!”

    I don’t want that. I want full control and absolute privacy. I do not want your AI reading my emails. Look at that summary, it’s as long as the whole email, and you’re not going to be able to trust that it picked up on the most important part of the email. This is not efficiency, this is novelty.

        I won’t. But my concern is that Mozilla is heading in the wrong direction lately, and I have used Firefox for a very long time.

            Yes, I’m glad this BS is an extension. I’m not happy that they’re spending time on this vs projects people actually seem to want. AI appeared nowhere on the top-10 survey results, yet this is what they come up with. I just hope they didn’t spend a ton of time on it.

        Here’s the summary of their example article (or perhaps the page?):

        This email expresses a sarcastic and exaggerated perspective on the advancements and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The author begins by expressing excitement about the technological marvels of AI, but then proceeds to poke fun at the complexity and convoluted nature of AI, its ability to predict our actions, and the replacement of human interaction with AI chatbots. The author also mocks the idea of AI-generated content and its ability to replicate human creativity, and the potential ethical concerns of relying on AI for decision-making. The email concludes with a sarcastic call to embrace the “glory” of AI and its potential to take over human autonomy. The tone of the email is light-hearted and humorous, but it also raises valid concerns about the role and impact of AI on our lives.

        This isn’t really a summary, there’s some interpretation going on as well. I don’t want AI to do any form of interpretation, but if it does so, it should be as metadata below the actual summary.

        And honestly, I almost never get an email that I actually want to summarize. Most of them I can either completely ignore (corporate BS), or they’re short and to the point. So it’s weird to me that email is the first thing they mention.

          I did exactly this at work the other day. Someone had forwarded a full email thread to me and asked my opinion on it - they gave no summary or outline of the thread and expected me to read through it. I don’t have time to read through a full thread and work out what they want from me so I copied it into chatgpt and asked it to summarise and tell me points that might need my attention. It was pretty good

      It is but it’s also natural for them, they’re slowly transitioning to a closed source company like all the other big tech companies. The hope is that we don’t notice, or that those of us who do notice are a small minority who can be stomped out or discredited by those who don’t notice or are in their pocket.

      Reddit too used to be open source, they’re not anymore. This shit does happen, regardless of what anyone says.
