Microsoft: Windows is falling apart at the seams, GitHub is forcing people off the platform due to unreliability
Meta: millions of people are abandoning the Facebook platform, VR didn’t pan out
But yeah it’s AI to blame, not the last stage of the well-articulated 4-step cycle of enshittification.
If that’s the case, then are all Mozilla employees also complicit?

I don’t see a reason to assume Facebook employees are, to a man, engaging in war crimes the way ICE officers are. Maybe some of them are pushing back against their overlords, like these Google employees.
Now if it were to a man… Just yesterday I learned of a Mozilla employee vouching for their partnership with Anthropic, with suspiciously close timing to when Anthropic was used to justify the bombing of children in Iran.
Why stop there? Fuck all employees of the owning class. How dare they be employed
Sometimes you have to cater to the lowest common denominator (the AI booster).
What part of the article confused you? It seems pretty clear to me.
Not only are they the company you decided to post about here, but they are the company people will often claim is the ethical one. OpenAI and X are worse.
You can’t just stick your head in the sand when you see inconvenient truths.
General_Effort, it’s pretty clear that you are an AI evangelist, so you should know this already. But for people who are genuinely unfamiliar, they should look at the creepy words of Anthropic ally, Palantir.
Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race
What democratization? The AI companies you prefer are creating a worse oligarchy in an economic and warmonger sense. This should disturb the people who don’t have their heads buried deep in the sand, or in the orifices of Satya Nadella or Dario Amodei.
Waiting for the “just a tool” crowd to emerge and complain that there’s basically no difference between cell phones with chatGPT, vs a calculator or dictionary.
I provided articles that describe it. What specific things do you think are wrong about them?
@Nomad@infosec.pub if you’re going to interact, please remember that you were accepted by the Firefox fan community as a spokesperson for your Mozilla employee friend. How deeply are you and friend burying your heads? Surely your ethics hasn’t degenerated into no longer believing the thing you said a few hours ago, I hope.
wtf is your profile
Double checked, and now it looks like I’ve got a referral cookie somehow. $300 is probably easy to get if you click through from anyone promoting it.
But if I open the join page in an incognito session, the price is $500.
I’m learning a lot about Mozilla’s ethics today.
It sounds like you and your friend believe they are outmoded. Anthropic is not just a toolmaker, they host the thing that was used to decide to kill children, and its CEO Dario Amodei has expressed desire to continue building war weapons.
In retrospect, do you and your friend believe that the product made by a homophobe such as Brendan Eich is just a tool too?
What makes you think your article makes Anthropic look any less meager or perverse (respectively) in the two articles I provided?
@Nomad@infosec.pub thoughts, now that you read this? I hope you and your friend don’t turn a blind eye. Mozilla’s ethical stance is important.
A lifetime subscription ($500 $300*) is roughly the price of 17 10 yearly subscriptions ($30). How many years do you think Nebula will remain as good as it is now? You should probably think of some of that money as being a donation and not a guaranteed product.
For some people, that’s probably fine. The service might have given them $300 worth of value already, so buying it’s a no-brainer.

Another day, another fearmongering press release from the company that could (but won’t) stop making their also-ran ChatGPT competitor.
