Mozilla using their limited funding to improve the last libre and independent web browser instead of the most useless and overdone ai hipster shit in existence challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (FAILED)
The problem is that all their money comes from Google and that’s a very poor position for them to be in. If they want to be independent and not at the mercy of Google, they need to find other means of funding.
Not a fan of the AI stuff but if it can loosen Google’s grip on Mozilla, I’m all for it
I have approximately zero faith that Mozilla will even try to do any of those three things. They’re using ChatGPT now, and suffice to say their track record with privacy beyond lip service hasn’t been great. Every time Mozilla has been asked to choose between money and what they believe in, they’ve chosen money. On one hand, I kinda don’t blame them – if I was a scrappy broke nonprofit maintaining one of the most complex pieces of software mankind has ever devised, I’d probably take money wherever I could get it too – but it’s still incredibly disappointing to see and doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Investors like the word AI
I mean AI is going to happen regardless; I’d rather Mozilla ensures that it’s ethical, consumer friendly, and private when it does
