#promptapi — Public Fediverse posts

What *really* worries me with the new Chrome Prompt API is not that it shipped regardless of the strong negative sentiment, that it gives websites and extensions free access to your local compute or that it can easily turn into a white-gloved botnet. What worries me is that the Intent document doesn't mention privacy or security even once, nor does it address these concerns in a direct way.
