I really fail to se what Firefox is trying to do.
There is a sizeable amount of people who wish to stay off chromium and avoid AI entirely. Not like FF has a major % of userbase in the internet. They could've cater to those people by evading AI entirely and probably would gain much bigger user base by doing that. Spread of word and all. Why would they go the opposite way and stray even more people away from their already tiny core user amount? Doesn't make sense to me. Did they pair with OpenAI or any other AI company who paid them monnies to be brainless idiots?
They just got a new CEO that is likely a tech bro that wants to follow Microsoft into the abyss.
or google into the abyss, since google is also all in for AI for the most part.
Rich people seem to have kind of obsession about the ai. It MUST be stuffed into every single thing for some reason, no matter if its detrimental or not. I wonder if its because if the ai thing fails, it means trillions might evaporate.
They fear falling behind other browsers and losing users because of it.
They see AI prevalence and see it as an opportunity to profile and position Mozilla as a leader in "ethical ai".
They see AI use cases and success and think they have to integrate it to have additional, useful, significant features.
Milk a bubble.
google fundinmozilla, probably had a hand in it too.
