Mozilla is building an AI ‘rebel alliance’ to take on industry heavyweights OpenAI, Anthropic
okay, first off: hey, what the fuck?
mozilla has a A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS of dollars? what were all them cookie sales for thunderbird? oh yeah, they have this shell game of interlinked but not really entities so you can play whack-a-mole till the death of the universe.
and they wanna burn it dicking around with AI? fuck each and every ghoul steering that ship into the abyss, and they can take Gnome's fucking shaman or whatwasit with them.
is everybody insane, "silicon valley" was supposed to be a satire, these cretins make mike judge seem like a prophet...

Mozilla is looking to deploy its roughly $1.4 billion in reserves to support "mission driven" companies and nonprofits, and is particularly focused on AI.Ashley Capoot (CNBC)

in reply to Snot Flickerman • • •Weren't they forced by the EU to allow non-Webkit browsers?
Although by now it's probably to late. Making a app on another engine is basically a totally new project.

in reply to Björn • • •I think it's rather that they're still forced to use Webkit everywhere but the EU and financially it probably doesn't make sense to port Gecko to iOS when worldwide iOS has pretty small marketshare. iOS only holds over 50% marketshare in USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In most EU countries it's under 30% marketshare. Android literally dominates in all of Mexico, South America, Africa, and Asia, in other words, far too many countries to list, most of which iOS has less than 10% marketshare.
Why would you go through so much trouble for arguably such a small slice of the world's iOS market when the majority of the iOS market will still be forced to use Webkit?

in reply to glitching • • •…I actually wouldn’t be against this.
But it isn’t even genuine. They’ve forked llama.cpp into a broken clone like about 500 other corporations, instead of just contributing to shit that actually works and is used, and… that’s about it.
That's about par for the AI industry.

in reply to glitching • • •How I interpret this :
instead of just watch the sideline as they keep on pouring more resources with nothing to show for it except the buzz they keep so hard on trying to maintain.

in reply to glitching • • •The big companies are burning down the planet building datacenters to run pointless AI so we're going to combat that by... building datacenters to run AI?
If they actually wanted to rebel against it they would build low energy tools to detect and remove AI spam and encourage people not to engage with this shit at all.
