Mozilla is soliciting feedback on AI in Firefox and the community is delivering.
There was one short and on the point reply by a user named "nube":
»Mozilla, get it: you can't compete with chromium, you can't target a mainstream audience, you can't win. You're just going to lose us, the little audience you still have, stop making fun of your users!«
That's the point: #FireFox is a boutique browser nowadays. Its only way of staying in the game is by being substantially different from Chrome and its clones.

Thing is... just follow the money. And the money wants "AI", so Mozilla has no choice but to follow if they want to keep paying their execs outrageous salaries.@mikro2nd They could at least spare us the patronizing.

@amoroso : could not find a single enthusiastic comment.
If we, anti-AI people, were so niche minority, where’s all that silent majority ?

@ploum I could fine only one comment mostly in favor, plus 6 kudos so far for the original post. Which, given the rest of the feedback, backs your point.

@amoroso Wow, their arrogance is off the charts.
“We hear you about not wanting AI, but ‘waves hands about technology moving forward’ and we’ve decided we’re the best team to tell you how you’ll use the technology you said you didn’t want to use”

@amcjen Indeed.

@amoroso aaaaand added my 2c. Also, does the announcement read "AI"-generated to anyone else or just me?! What the fuck.

@amoroso
In the entire first page of replies, I see one "I want it to be different" and every other response is "I don't want it at all".
I don't understand why leadership wants this so badly. I mean, I joke about CEOs who chose a shirt size at age 19 and now are fatter and hypoxic, but is that really it? Is there some other property inherent to the C-suite that makes them bad at decisions? -

@amoroso I love your reply:
"The only AI related thing I want is a single, prominent, easily accessible switch to turn off absolutely all opt-out AI features. No chasing about:config entries."
-
@niavy Agreed.

@amberage Yes it smells like that.

@hectorjcorrea Thanks, it's just common sense.

@amoroso do we think they're gonna listen this time, or is it more of a "we solicited the feedback and then did what we wanted anyway" kinda thing?

@dave_cochran I'd say the latter.

@Npars01 I suspect Mozilla's leadership will interpret the feddback as "Absolutely yes!" and "Go ahead!".
-
@Bowreality Giving such feedback is important but the impression is they already made up their mind.

I made an account just to voice my distain in this decision. Why are companies being so fucking weird and short sighted about AI? I feel like I'm going crazy.

Mia mamma: Questa luce in bagno acceca!
detto da lei che tiene la luminosità del telefono al massimo con quelle bellissime schermate bianche. Vi farei vedere come illumina a giorno la macchina quelle rare volte che capita di uscire quand'è buio con lei 😂

on tiktok someone commented on this "incredible use of free will" which i interpret to mean "why the fuck did you decide to do this" hey someone has to do silly opera seria, it might as well be me
also my focusing on this opera is not actually that weird when you consider there is FUCK ALL aside from this and a couple of other Handel joints that has a lead role written for my vocal type

@mariosiniscalchi le scienze della pace studiano anche i processi di comunicazione e di costruzione di fiducia, perché è questa che serve per il rispetto dei trattati, non l’imposizione con la forza del rispetto dei trattati (rivendicando solo per noi “buoni” il diritto di imporre con la forza regole che violiamo) se vuoi approfondire quella che è stata una escalation tra due imperialismi, per una prospettiva diversa dalla narrazione bellicista euroatlantica, qui hai un bel libro:
