Well guys... It's endorsed by the CEO.
so there's that
Omg take my money!! 💸💸💸💸
Seriously loosing whatever faith i had left in Mozilla... I want to love them so badly, but this just hurts.
Oh no, they wrote a free program that you don't want to use.
I see your account is just here to troll/harass people who don't love AI too, but we're witnessing Mozilla burning goodwill and capital for no apparent reason.
Please don't tell people to stick their heads in the sand.
Advocacy against Mozilla's waste has already gotten them nervous and defensive, and that advocacy can and should continue.
Really, you're going to follow me around calling me a troll? That's sadder than being a troll.
Nah, what's sadder is getting ratioed like this for being an AI shill.
You care about Karma points? On the Fediverse, even?
I care about the sentiment, not the points.
Okay, so you only want to say things that are popular within a community, and you consider people who say things that are unpopular to be "trolls" that should be excluded from that community.
This is what makes social media into self-reinforcing information bubbles and leads people to be out of touch with the general public. Like this Thunderbolt tool - if "nobody asked for this", as another commenter in this thread said, why do you think it was made? There's actually a lot of demand for AI tools in the real world but communities like this one create narratives that convinced themselves that it's all some kind of delusional grift with unclear motives. When someone like me comes along that challenges that narrative, ooh, troll. Downvote and drive out! And you wonder why everyone left seems to agree?
You should really just block me if you don't want to hear my views. I suppose you could report me to the mods if you think I've actually broken any rules, but that normally requires a bit more backing it up than just disagreeing with my opinion or thinking it's unpopular. Otherwise you're just going to waste your time and make yourself unhappy.
