Sure sounds like they haven't learned any lessons from past trend-chasing. They are shutting down their VR world and their Mastodon instance. This content-free AI promise just sounds like more of the same desperate grabbing for hype, while also cutting jobs and notably not mentioning any actual initiatives to prop up the core product and actual reason for Mozilla's existence.
The main difference between the past hype-grabs and generative AI is that genAI is incredibly expensive. So long as Mozilla follows this pattern of chasing the latest hypewagon instead of working on its core product, they will continue to lose relevance. It's too bad.
