       Mozilla is what Greenpeace would be if Greenpeace was run by petroleum industry executives.#mozilla

       @notspookypip @aral It has been doing not so much. Like climate boards driven by petroleum managers

       @notspookypip @aral This is my summary:There is no such thing as good Big Tech, yet Mozilla believes there is and wants to be a good Big Tech company. Mozilla isn't nearly as reformed as they imagine themselves to be. Mozilla imagines themselves ethical, but they are much closer to their tech bro origins than they admit to themselves or the world.They took years to oust their homophobic CEO (who now runs the Brave Browser corp. so, you know, don't use that browser or boost that company).

       @notspookypip @aral The specific issue is them launching their own AI initiative, positioning themselves as uniquely suited to do it ethically. When what they're doing is chasing a fad.They would better serve the community to invest the millions of dollars that they announced to fund this new mozilla[.]ai, instead into AI countermeasures to protect people from the unethical and dangerous state of the art.The current AI push is VC desperation & snake oil after NFT and crypto collapsed.

       @notspookypip @aral TL;DR — looks a lot like Mozilla is trying to replicate what Apple did with ad surveillance, and trick us into thinking of them as being on our side
