over the last few years ive been puzzled at a lot of the stuff i've seen come out of mozilla. there's just like, very little explanation for all the unforced errors and cringe messaging and like, weirdly just doing exactly the wrong thing in bizarre and novel ways and not even profiting from it. something about that "join the rebel alliance of better AI" thing has finally brought me clarity. perhaps they're just really stupid

it's a weird moment, where i guess you spend years or decades having an "implicit respect", that is, that you assume by default the people who make/represent/control the thing you like must know what they're doing, and then something reveals that maybe it's not true, and never was. it's pretty hard to actually break that kind of unquestioned trust. but by god, they're trying

@jkAs a decades long Firefox user who's seen all their screwups, my take is that the mozilla team today are feckless cowards who are too dumb and cowardly to see the gaping market gap that needs filling: a humanist browser that doesn't ride the bullshit stochastic parrot hype train.They have also in their history soared to great heights and fallen to great lows and are terrified of revenue loss.They must return to their roots to survive IMHO.
