Mozilla is only focusing on AI stuff.

I'm not sure why all the down-votes.. But I'm not lying.. Look at: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/mozilla-lays-off-60-people-wants-to-build-ai-into-firefox/. Or https://digiworld.news/news/65190/mozilla-invests-30m-to-launch-mozillaai-and-redefine-the-next-era-of-ai. There are literately millions invested into AI by Mozilla.

And they are mostly hiring AI engineers as well: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/listings/

Not true at all lol

And locally-run translation that utilises AI, as well as AI accessibility features for blind users isn't nefarious. I mean, unless you dislike private translations and would rather send that data to Google, or hate blind people, but I'd hope you don't.

People need to actually look into features before they have a stupid and completely reactionary "it says AI therefore evil" response. People who react that way are morons.

What is not true? Mozilla is lay off people with a move to AI: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/mozilla-lays-off-60-people-wants-to-build-ai-into-firefox/. And invested millions into AI: https://digiworld.news/news/65190/mozilla-invests-30m-to-launch-mozillaai-and-redefine-the-next-era-of-ai. And are hiring a lot of AI engineers specifically: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/careers/listings/
