@thomasfuchs as part of Engineering today AI usage is being encouraged to solve problems big and small and it's included in almost everything that get's shipped. So I get the point that if you used a computer today - yep - you used either a product that was built with it (probably in part but some even in whole) or something "interactive" like LLM's and the like.

@thomasfuchs @briankrebs

Mozilla is just one big grift.

@thomasfuchs once again I am having trouble understanding what they are talking about

@thomasfuchs I keep expecting them to move the goalposts and define “AI” so generally that it basically boils down to all software being AI. I mean, an app that requires sign-in must be artificially intelligent because how else would it know if you put the right password in? How does a spreadsheet “know” how to add things together unless it’s artificially intelligent? And so on.

In which case, that definition of AI justifies the statement you referenced.

@thomasfuchs "Today we are rewiring Mozilla to do for AI what we did for the web"

From what they've done lately for the web, this might be a threat to AI.

@thomasfuchs " it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today" "yeah because you fuckers keep trying to cram it into everything...just stop!"

@thomasfuchs It's *possible* I've made some use of ML algorithms today. But GenAI as people have defined it? Zero. Same as every other day.

And I'm fully a participant in a computer-driven & online society. It's shocking, really, how *easily* you can avoid GenAI and still do all the normal computing things available to do today.

Like I’ve used computers for maybe 8 hours today and literally none of what I did had anything to do with “AI”.

No matter how much the tech industry wants to feed us their generative excrement, it’s simply at most some other tool that some people use.

Just get fucked with this “it’s magical!” shit.

@thomasfuchs im assuming the whole page is ai slop, and noone in leadership at Moz cares

@thomasfuchs did AI write it?
