A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do you expect them to make money off of this? The only thing they've done is burned money by developing it.
That describes almost everything they've done.
Apparently Firefox is actually profitable!
It's the only part of Mozilla that is.
But that didn't stop them from laying off employees (and eventually laying off the department head fighting against those layoffs) regardless.
Seeing as they are a non-profit, they should be spending it all. Although I think AI isn’t the right direction.
Nonprofit or not, burning money on countless bad projects isn't good.
Are you seriously asking how to make money out of large, structured knowledge base in 2026? Having data these days is like having a goldmine, I can't think of any more valuable asset.
Yes. Of course. Claims require evidence.
Specifically for the AI initiative in this article, or any of their broader AI initiatives, which have been worryingly many.
