alt Hacker Newsmozilla only began babbling about open source ai when they got their teeth extracted for free via the entire community giving them the curbiest of curbstomps.
i still use firefox but hot damn did they utterly fail to read the room initially. the only other company i can think of in recent memory -- besides sony cutting out discs -- is logitech when their ceo began gibbering about a subscription mouse or microsoft and its copilot button(s).
It's frustrating because I truly believe they are well-meaning, honest actors. Every single "controversy" surrounding Mozilla can be directly attributed to miscommunication rather than malice. They do often struggle to read the room.
That said, the takeaways from this report are exciting, and I do feel that Mozilla now has the right lens in their assessment of OSS AI and their own approach to ensuring interoperability and setting open, modern standards.
