And?
Isn't that what every religion that believes in a deity, also believe?

I didn't say they don't need calibration.
I said they don't need calibration all the time.
Failure to connect to the cloud should not result in immediate device failure. Manual calibration steps should be possible. Or at least a message "cloud service unavailable, device will stop working in 48h" or similar.
I don't understand why people are willing to bootlick the company in this case. Cloud connected everything is cancer.
I mean, the data is easily googleable.
Me: Prison is not the answer to everything.
You: It is because (insert specific scenario).
Let me introduce you to the word "everything" and what it means.
This whole article is about how to STOP people from driving while drunk. I'm not hand wringing, I just don't think that prison is the only solution here.
Because prison is not the answer to everything for fuck's sake.
Sure, in this case we can say "fuck you" to drunk drivers and the don't deserve sympathy, but this everything must be cloud connected trend is going to fuck us all eventually.
The problem is that the above sentence requires a person to be able to hold two thoughts in their head at the same time, which appears to be above almost everyone commenting in this thread.
Drinking and driving is not cool.
Making a device that could and should operate locally rely on a cloud service is also not cool. Breathalyzers have been around for decades, and do not need calibration all the time.

That's some optimism you have, asking people to think before posting.
That's a cheap low IQ tactic. I don't need to have a fully formed alternative politico-economic system, ready to deploy tomorrow, in order to critique this one aspect of the existing system.
Alternatively (and I understand that this is unintelligible to Americans), I have a social conscience, and socioeconomic structures that exacerbate the already destructive and divisive civilisational landscape that we are currently suffering with bother me. I want my fellow humans to live in a world characterised by justice, fairness, compassion, and kindness.
For whatever it's worth, I have an MBA and I own two successful businesses. But if it makes you feel better telling yourself that I'm just a barefoot hippy railing against the establishment, go right ahead.
No, it's not. Some shit in society is so unredeemably depraved that excising the cancer is the only meaningful solution.
It's fundamentalist capitalist bullshit that the fuckery in Wall St is somehow a necessary component for our way of life. Fuck that, and fuck you.
This is false.
Mozilla themselves state in the article:
"AI-assisted bug reports have a mixed track record, and skepticism is earned. Too many submissions have meant false positives and an extra burden for open source projects. What we received from the Frontier Red Team at Anthropic was different."
Regardless, you can see various high-severity security issues found by Claude Opus 4.6 patched in the latest version of Firefox (v148) here.
Anthropic’s own Red Team lead (Logan Graham) admitted these exploits only worked on a "test version" of the browser.
Citation?
Both the article from mozilla and anthropic doesn't mention anything about a "test version of the browser", instead it specifically states the current/latest version of Firefox...
So we tasked Claude with finding novel vulnerabilities in the current version of Firefox—bugs that by definition can’t have been reported before. We focused first on Firefox’s JavaScript engine but then expanded to other areas of the browser.
The article goes on to state:
After just twenty minutes of exploration, Claude Opus 4.6 reported that it had identified a Use After Free (a type of memory vulnerability that could allow attackers to overwrite data with arbitrary malicious content) in the JavaScript engine. One of our researchers validated this bug in an independent virtual machine with the latest Firefox release, then forwarded it to two other Anthropic researchers, who also validated the bug.
Here's the list of all fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox 148, as found by Claude Opus 4.6.
