Mozilla is looking to deploy its roughly $1.4 billion in reserves to support "mission driven" companies and nonprofits, and is particularly focused on AI.
okay, first off: hey, what the fuck?
mozilla has a A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS of dollars? what were all them cookie sales for thunderbird? oh yeah, they have this shell game of interlinked but not really entities so you can play whack-a-mole till the death of the universe.
and they wanna burn it dicking around with AI? fuck each and every ghoul steering that ship into the abyss, and they can take Gnome’s fucking shaman or whatwasit with them.
is everybody insane, “silicon valley” was supposed to be a satire, these cretins make mike judge seem like a prophet…
I wouldn’t be against it but… You don’t need to support companies or nonprofits, we already got DeepSeek and Qwen which are open source, they don’t need money, but they’re also not going to go that way because they’re Chinese. So they basically want some Western alternative, sure, whatever.

AllenAI exists and is actually open source rather than just open weight.
