"AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off."
Since this is the flat out opposite of Firefox now—you have to go into unsupported debug settings and click eight boxes based on folklore—and there's no acknowledgement that this comment is a complete 180 on Firefox's current policy of enabling AI in secret then trying to trick you into using it… this statement is not a reassurance to me. It feels dishonest and like a continuation of Firefox's dishonesty about AI, "PPA" etc.

To be clear, "it's there but you can turn it off" is not enough for me, I already stopped using SwiftKey, Microsoft Windows, Miro, etc on the basis of "we put AI in the software with an option to turn it off". If an org ships a "generative AI" product I want to boycott them and I want everyone to boycott them until they go out of business. I don't want a virus on my hard drive even if it's turned off. But Mozilla's ever-shifting checkbox scavenger hunt has never *resembled* "can easily turn off"

@mcc Would be so much less bad if instead MF said and operated like ""AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn ON."

@mcc Once a project includes AI… no, once a project's leaders enthuse about AI, that's when I lose my trust in it. We know it's a monopolist eco disaster of a wrong answer machine. The only sensible move is not to touch it. If they can't see that, what other mistakes are they making and not telling me about?

All'inizio avevo scritto razza, ma era equivocabile (come tutto il resto in realtà)
Cosa è una razza se non una popolazione con tratti identificabili e riprodotti?
Ma poi c'è chi crede che i tratti siano davvero più importanti della popolazione, li crede dei totem da adorare, che la riproducibilità sia eterna, e che l'identificabilità sia infallibile, scolpita nella pietra e abbia un senso superiore, che non ci sia cambiamento e il cambiamento è tradimento
Per carità

Un malato va allontanato dalla comunità
Se guarisce può tornarePuò essere che quel che guarisce è la comunità
O è la comunità il maleIndividui possono portare caratteri evoluzionistici che permettono la sopravvivenza della popolazione
Anche se questi caratteri portano all'estinzione del singolo individuo a favore della popolazione
Ma anche, individui possono portare all'estinzione della popolazione per far sopravvivere sé stessi

Un'altra notte a deturpare la notte coi miei pensieri
Ma la notte non è silenziosa in città
Un rumore di sottofondo, un respiro di macchine, la bestia è in attesa
Non si sente il silenzio del cielo, solo la presenza dell'infernoEssere vivi significa esserci, negarsi il sonno
Il dolore è una persistenza

Mozilla is abysmally run. It has been abysmally run. The AI plan is asinine and shortsighted. It won't work. Mozilla is just not going to exist in ten years at this rate.
At the same time, I don't think people understand how much it actually costs to build and maintain a browser with a custom engine. Ten years ago the estimate was $100 million... annually. Every competitor of theirs other than Google and Apple gets to build their browser without this burden.
Mozilla's problem is critical to solve but I don't get how it can be solved.
