josefover 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
JP@jk one unignorable fact is that, culturally and literally (for many of their workers), Mozilla is still in Silicon Valley. their employees have friends who work at the other more openly profit-maximizing tech companies in the area and as a result most of the ideas in their heads come more and less directly from people like Marc Andreessen. they're living inside the monster.
