Reminder that you *can* delete the Chrome AI model this way, but Google can quite easily bring it back by just picking a new name and set of flags for their shitbaggery.

The only 100% effective solution is to erase Chrome.

@cstross I went to this page, to find it populated with ads to buy … Chrome!!!

@cstross the only solution is to not use chrome. I’m done with cat and mouse game.

Going back to lynx 🤪

@cstross When I remember I add -ai to my google searches. Of course, I would much rather have -ai as a default.

I wish I could.
Google is at the foundation of the web;
They developed *javascript* as a web standard to
inject trackers and sell more ads.
Many websites support only chrome.
Cannot get rid of it as even school homework
is only published via google account.

Hmmm. Self wonders how much of that 4GB is D/L, and how much setting up ginormous data tables. An array of SIZEOF(wordlist) vectors in SIZEOF(wordlist) dimensions is going to be chunky, even unpopulated with an efficient sparse-array algorithm.
