> our efforts in applied ethical machine learning, as we invest to make Mozilla products more personal

I can’t be alone in thinking this is pretty much the _last_ thing I want from Mozilla.

discuss

order

We're two now here.

I don't feel anything personal towards inanimate things like software and corporations, even less so do I want them to treat me personally. For I know that all such plausible pretensions are in fact nothing but mercenary.

Mozilla, why won't you ask your users if they need your products to be personal?

Listen to the echoing silence from Mozilla; the users built them, but they don't talk to the users. Not even on the bugtrackers. They're a bit like FIFA, or the International Olympic Committee - they've discovered that they're totally immune to criticism, so they get more and more bold.

What does it take to make a failing corporation go broke?

I just want their fucking products to work reliably, not be "more personal"

Agree, but this announcement kinda makes me think they're working on either money-making enterprise tools a la Teams/Slack/etc OR maybe even exploring ML recommendation engines as an entrypoint to creating their own search engine. Definitely not their core competency but they've been having to get creative with their offerings/business because honestly making incremental improvements to a browser with 3% market share isn't going to get them the userbase they need to fund their efforts.
