Mozilla is soliciting feedback on AI in Firefox and the community is delivering.

@dave_cochran I'd say the latter.

[bowreality@mastodon.social]

@amoroso @Npars01 Loud and clear feedback. What else do they need?

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@Bowreality Giving such feedback is important but the impression is they already made up their mind.

@amoroso
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.

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@KyleCKelly Thanks, I appreciate it.

@amoroso currently liking every single replies

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@proprietedusage Me too.

[janeishly@beige.party]

@amoroso I replied to it, but I've already abandoned Firefox after many years, for Librewolf & Ironfox. They aren't going to listen, but it's nice that everyone else is as "fuck no" about it as me.

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@janeishly Right, it's important to hold them accountable.

@amoroso
I just carefully crafted a polite reply to their request but when I clicked 'Submit' I was taken to a login or sign-up page. That's the attitude we're dealing with. They don't want my opinion unless they can monetize my data.

@pthane Yeah, posting requires a Mozilla ID (e.g. the same for syncing Firefox) or an account.
