Chrome looks set to ship an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. We feel it has a large interoperability risk, and Google imposing T&Cs on a web API sets a dangerous precedent. Full details: github.com/mozilla/stan...

It's pretty offensive to hear Mozilla telling me I shouldn't have a web API that lets me bring whatever agent I want to bear. That is grossly against user agency.

What you're talking about there isn't what Google is shipping and therefore isn't what we're opposing.

I'm sorry but no one can have any models is not ok! > This will result in Mozilla and Apple having to licence Google's model, or ship a model that's quirks-compatible with the Google model This feels way way way over the top madcap absurd.

We need to do something & you are demanding an unattainable perfection that can never be met. The FUD against doing anything cannot be allowed to obstruct. These claims are far too pearl clutching. Quirks are not going to be radically confounding like you project.

I'm saying that that's not enough to justify denying the vast expansion of user agency. And I'm saying your demands are unsatisfiable.

There has to be some willingness, some ability for the perfect not to become the enemy of the good. You've set up a series of hand wringings anticipating using long prompts for quirks, anticipating in some possible cases perhaps that being a disaster. It seems outlandish, & a pitiful naysaying.

It feels enormously speculative. You're saying you see this as a problem. But we don't. It's all "trust me" views. It all feels stacked upon many worst case assumptions. Whose outcome seems unlikely to be actually *that* bad in the first place.
