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.

    You are defending Mozilla’s widely unpopular plans and changes based on ideas Mozilla isn’t even working on.

    If you want to share your ideas, make an effort post, don’t use them legitimize whatever Mozilla is doing.

      I wholeheartedly agree with everything in the Mozilla’s statement and if you’re upset about that then that’s en entirely a you problem. They’re proposing doing community driven development of open models, and I don’t see anybody else talking about it. Shitting on what they’re doing without providing any tangible alternatives is not productive. What they’re doing might be unpopular in your bubble, but it doesn’t detract from the value of what’s being proposed in any way.

      If you actually have any constructive criticisms of what Mozilla is proposing then by all means share them.
