Owners, not renters: Mozilla's open source AI strategy  | The Mozilla Blog

The future of intelligence is being set right now, and the path we’re on leads somewhere I don’t want to go. We’re drifting toward a worl

In my view, this is the exact right approach. LLMs aren’t going anywhere, these tools are here to stay. The only question is how they will be developed going forward, and who controls them. Boycotting AI is a really naive idea that’s just a way for people to signal group membership.

Saying I hate AI and I’m not going to use it is really trending and makes people feel like they’re doing something meaningful, but it’s just another version of trying to vote the problem away. It doesn’t work. The real solution is to roll up the sleeves and built an a version of this technology that’s open, transparent, and community driven.

      I don’t know why people feel the need to proclaim that in every single post about LLMs. Clearly it’s not a subject that concerns you, so why not just move on and comment on things you care about? These kinds comments only add toxicity and nothing of value.

        When a corporate blog opens with “The future of intelligence is being set right now” and ends with “The future of intelligence is being set now. The question is whether you’ll own it, or rent it.” I feel as though I’m being threatened into action when I’ve never used this technology for anything requiring intelligence.

        Woke AI is never going to exist no matter how much the bourgeois executives at Google’s antitrust body-shield headquarters want to wish cast themselves back into relevance. Mozilla drops projects like servo, graveyards products like Pocket, tries fooling people with “privacy preserving attribution” and then turns around and has the gall to fucking threaten me saying how I’m not going to be in their brave new world, maybe I lose my patience after a while.

        Mozilla is missing the forest for the trees when LLMs are just the way for silicon valley to financialize access to information, the technology itself doesn’t matter, just how it gives these corporations an excuse to move money around.
