lol why is Mozilla suddenly releasing a bunch of “AI side hustle” products as of late

• 1920musicman 3y ago
  Speaking as a long-time FF user, Mozilla Foundation lacks vision and jumps on any new shiny tech that can get it a few headlines. Just in the last couple of years they invested into a Web3/metaverse effort, launched a Mastodon server, now offer gen AI features. None of these projects are ambitious, none are focused on developing complex fundamentals. Just basic products with a completely sub-par feature-set and no future.

    As long as it doesn't distract them from delivering my favorite browser year after year, I don't mind if their side products are silly attempts to draw in funding for Mozilla. A mastodon server seems like something right up their alley. I imagine I can connect to it directly from Thunderbird now that I think about it lol

  Easier to ask who isn't putting out AI shovelware at the moment.
