Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch
After installing a new interim CEO earlier this month, Mozilla, the organization behind the Firefox browser, is making some major changes to its product

Please God no.
Guess what, the local private translations feature depends on AI/ML. All this blind hate for AI is so stupid.
The new translation feature is quite awesome.
People are incapable of not thinking in binary terms.
It's the new cool thing to hate it.
No. There are hundreds of entirely valid reasons to be wary of AI, especially the fact that the word AI has just turned into a corporate buzzword, when I hear that (insert thing) has had AI added to it, that can mean anything from a single static image that was made using "AI art" , to a large language model being used, or maybe they just grafted chatGPT to it.
Maybe if people and companies stopped labeling everything even tangentially computer related as AI I'd be less dismissive of it, but as it is now, whenever "AI" is mentioned in relation to a product it feels like a "corp wants to artificially increase percieved value by using latest trend" moment
What is wrong with companies showing that they do work with this kind of stuff. They probably do already but they are just letting the people know that they do and it just happened the word AI sends that message. Though Mozilla downsizing is a bad thing and the job loss would be a valid reason. But from the thread I'm not seeing that kind of atmosphere here.
Time to fork it.
Or, you know, clicking a button in the settings to turn it off.
