    I don’t get why y’all are so mad about this. As long as the features are optional and I can easily turn them off in the settings, they don’t bother me at all.

      A reason that everyone should get behind:

      AI = increased carbon emissions for a product that won’t even be useful because AI is really unreliable.

      Like people already said - they could be doing literally anything else. Have vacation time, fix any of the bugs, improve performance, anything at all. This is like adding a tattoo of shit to your chest. Sure, it’s your chest, but it’s also shit

        On the other hand, Mozilla has ~750 employees all of whom are working on different projects at different times.

        Their AI work is likely not preventing their development of other projects. Especially considering they are hiring for positions related to AI, I would imagine that current employee’s aren’t just filling in the gaps in the meantime, but are independent from each others departments.

          I’m sure they have nothing else to do, I mean the market share shows they can just sit with thumbs in their asses. This shitty argument that this work is somehow free is a bad one

      @unrushed233@lemmings.world AI watching (and reporting on) everything you browse using that browser right back to Mozilla, are you really that naive to believe this won’t happen?

      @unrushed233@lemmings.world if they’re going to be forced into the browser, they should be opt-in, not opt-out.
