I'm ok with them chasing ethical applications of AI. I'm more tired of their half-assed efforts to chase every shiny new object over the last few years. It feels like as a non-profit, they should be comparatively immune to chasing the same transitory trends that other shareholder-owned companies are obsessed over. But it seems like for Mozilla, they have an even shorter attention span than their corporate competitors. We've seen them chase after crypto, metaverse, augmented reality, Firefox OS, and now AI. All of those efforts fizzled out with a whimper.

Critiquing Mozilla when they make mistakes is not the same as hating them. It is healthy to keep these organizations accountable

One can and should critique a company when they make mistakes.

I adore Firefox. Just tired of Mozilla trying features (FF Panorama) and hobbies (Notes) and then abandoning them

Yes, I'm grandfathered into the old cost, or I'd definitely pivot and move to Omnivore

I was cool with them buying Pocket. But as a long time user of Pocket, I feel it has horribly stagnated. Far more features have been lost than have been gained.

It is pathetic in a way how desperate they are to prop themselves up with taxpayer funds. They know their ideas can't succeed on their own merits. They need state muscle to help coerce people to believe their myths.

I just donated to Freedom From Religion Foundation, which files lawsuits challenging attempts like this to undermine church-state separation

Yes, it has never been the best in terms of relevance or depth of index. But lately when I do searches for something like "cherry shrimp aquarium water quality requirements" I've been overwhelmed by AI-written SEO blogs. Where google still pulls up results from forums, reddit, other relevant actual humans talking.

Yes, and DDG has really been degrading over the last few months in quality of results imo.

I think it should be the suits and shareholders who destroyed Boeing's engineer-first culture.
