"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

  • all of the planned new Firefox features for 2026 are "AI"-based (except for a new paid support tier)
  • they're taking our money and establishing an "AI"-focused investment arm
  • all of the art appears to be slop

Remember when Mozilla was not awful?

I never remember Mozilla Corp not being awful, no. I remember them screwing up the Foundation's work. I remember the moment the execs came in, that they ruined it. I remember that they took money from DoubleClick knowingly to become the controlled opposition. I remember that they made such a crazy rewrite of the code that it made jwz leave - and then they did it again just a few years later because DoubleClick told them to. Gotta have the controlled opposition follow the madcap "release" schedule instead of being on a responsible schedule and using meaningful versioning, after all.

And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble. from The Book of Mozilla, 3:31 (Red Letter Edition)

DoubleClick and the company it cancerously infected is also a follower of Mammon.
