A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Mozilla really has no clue about their users at all. So if this AI shit isn't incredibly lucrative on its own (like the Google deal) or brings in loads of new users (doubtful), then that's it.
Which will be a huge problem - cause it will likely pull all the forks under with it. Once Firefox falls, the days of Librewolf, Waterfox etc. will likely be numbered.
Where would we go to? Nothing else is production ready or ai free.
