Delight — absolute delight — is what I felt when my parents brought home a Compaq Deskpro 386 for us to play with. It was love at first sight,

I don't get it, do you believe that AI is reversible so we should only big corps use it cause it is inherently bad?
The one thing Mozilla needs to focus on for internet freedom and independence is the one thing they never never never ever will talk about... The browser
That 500m in annual google money is too precious to actually innovate the browser with.
At this point Mozilla is just a political arm of Google.
AI will solve walled gardens and decentralize the internet? Wishful thinking.
This is about the Mozilla Foundation, not the Mozilla Corporation.
The distinction matters. The way they are organized, they can’t really overlap functions without jeopardizing the non-profit status of the Foundation. The Corporation is a for-profit company, it gets money from Google and it makes the browser.
OMG.
Ctrl+Ffor Firefox with no results in the article… but there’s a link to a Pikachu image from Google image search results.
I started my career as a media lawyer to protect those who made things that helped us see one another, and the truth about our shared world. Almost fifteen years ago, I co-founded and built a media law clinic to train others to do the same.
Hmm, sounds good.
I am not naive about the Internet at its worst. From the Edward Snowden disclosures to a quick trip to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, much of my career has confronted issues of surveillance — including of my own religious community.
Yeah, I like that we seem to agree.
[...] so we built an accountability journalism outlet, The Markup [...] Our team imagined and made things people used to make informed choices. Blacklight, for example, empowers people to use the Web how they want, by helping them see the otherwise invisible set of tracking tools, watching them as they browse.
Oh, Blacklight, I know that's a cool tool!
In our particular moment – as we’re deploying large-scale AI systems for the first time, as we’re waking up home pages from their long rests, and trying to “rewild” the Internet beyond walled gardens
What? Why?? Oh fucking no
We can imagine a future that centers human agency, and then we can build it, bit-by-byte.
Yeah but AI is most probably not a toolbox for that
Mitchell Baker, Laura Chambers, Nabila Syed... Well it seems women are no better than men as far as capitalist greed goes. It is clear they want to steal the money of developers who want to build Firefox and other tools in better ways, instead of doing this AI and buzzword marketing bullshit and killing Firefox. They even had to layoff some security developers in the past few years just so that these CEO pigs could fill their tummies with more money.
Instead of the anti-trans agenda Brendan Eich, we get this other opposite agenda in place with money grubbing CEOs. Using leftist politics to cloak themselves is fucking disgusting. But since they are women, they will be immune to any criticisms.
We don't fucking care about your new boss Mozilla
