TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.
Gee, and all the people who opposed involvement with Gemini get to say “I told you so!” Question is, will Mozilla start listening again? I recall they used to, once upon a long time ago.
I truly believe at this point the mozilla CEO is actively trying to kill the company for some reason.
Big big parachutes for upper management. Buy into the next thing, run it into the ground, rinse and repeat.
time to make a Brave decision like Zorin and Nobara
Librewolf eould be better. Brave is full of bloat and has a controversial past.
Brave got into bed with google.
Mozilla is just Google with a trench coat on. They fund it as protection against antitrust.
