I’ve been in a weird place the last year or so. I turn 50 this year, I moved back home to take care of my parents after 30 years of living around the world. The disconcerting part is when I left this area I drove a modified blue Volkswagen Jetta, the stores played contemporary music of the mid 90’s. I’m now back, I drive a blue VW and the store play oldies which means mid 90’s rock. I go into stores I used to go into driving the same type of car and hear the same type of music.

I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.
