@mttaggart
Fantastic read as always! I am still giggling over "Blavidia" xD -
@DaveMWilburn
HAHAHAH
@mttaggart -
The questions are basically "how do you want AI to be used" without providing a real option to say "none of the above I don't want AI to exist in Firefox"
@chillybot "Holding corporations accountable for their AI products" is really the only good option to that question which doesn't admit much twisting. It's what I'd recommend selecting.

@chillybot
There is a narrative answer box if you skip to the bottom where you can just tell them: WOW! Award winning biased survey and also do not want AI polluting tech tooks I use and if you try to force AI on people no worries, someone will fill the void you leave while you die on the vine with the other douchebags. -
It's incredible how obtuse they are about their own user base, and what motivates someone to choose Firefox to begin with. Anyone who likes this crap is already perfectly happy using Chrome or Edge.
@mttaggart@infosec.exchange @chillybot@infosec.exchange @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange the thing is, this is their replacement for the revenue they lost due to the google antitrust lawsuit.
instead of a search/ad engine paying them, AI Companies will do so now. -

@chillybot action taken.
I don't think I used the word "motherfuckers" enough, though.

@chillybot@infosec.exchange @DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange it didn’t but it did result in a loss of funding due to the scrutiny.
as such Mozilla has been looking at other sources of income and the AI industry is throwing it around right now. -

I mean there are freetext inputs so you can and should say that, it's just not multiple choice options.
@chillybot And then they ask for a donation.

@chillybot I absolutely made the most of those “Other” and free text fields to put Mozilla on blast RE: #AI

Thanks for this!
About the line "So of these organizations, 3 of them need to have flagship AI products by 2028."
It looks to me like that might be accidentally smushing together 2 different aims,
"All Mozilla orgs have a flagship AI product by 2028"
and
"3 Mozilla orgs have more than $25M in revenue (currently: 1)"Or am I wrong?

@chillybot My answers to the survey were basically "Want my data for your AI? Fuck you, pay me."

@chillybot
I can't in honesty fill in such an absolutely broken survey!
It's got missing important questions.They have totally lost the plot.

@chillybot it won't matter but here's how i filled it out

@chillybot Done. Noted in the commentary that very little of the survey was about developing a web browser and that we need a team that is focused on making a good web browser.

@dalias @chillybot It's not a radio group. You can leave that section blank. The survey does post if you decide none of the responses are valid.

@chillybot I took the survey and told them I want absolutely no AI anywhere near Mozilla. Thanks for sharing!

@chillybot FYI to others: don't fall for the "choose three" thing; you can submit with just "other" selected.
