“zzt how dare you accuse Mozilla employees of suffering from very obvious LLM psychosis”

zzt@mas.to

please “enjoy” the State of Mozilla, one of the least hinged things I’ve seen released with pride by an established corporation: https://stateof.mozilla.org/ (epilepsy warning)

note the 2001-style not-Flash intro. the fake captcha. the timecube-esque prattle about AI threatening humanity. “DO NOT ACCEPT DEFAULT SETTINGS”. the ASCII art cop finger in the footer of the main page. all of it. what in fuck is this.

@zzt just flushing out any latent epileptics in the audience with those fucking animations, ow

zzt@mas.to

@dwm shit I should add a warning about that to my post but I might be out of characters, let me figure something out

@zzt
"The 2025/26 State of Mozilla is an invitation: choose your future."

I choose no.

algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club

@zzt Hmm... I'm gonna be honest here. I like the "Doing for AI what we did for the web" title.

I mean, Mozilla was so inept that it surrendered the Web to Google and Chrome, and contributed to destroying it. Now if they do the same with AI, and contribute to destroying it, now that's a goal I could stand behind.

Unfortunately, that is unlikely what they want to do, but I did not dare read further than the title yet.

@zzt OMG

"AI isn’t just another tech trend — it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today."
Literally not a single tool I use requires it, nor would I use it if it was forced into it.

"It enables remarkable things: new ways to create and collaborate and communicate."
No, it lies and doesn't help create anything. It is by design reactive.

"But AI is also letting us down"
You got me* there, Mozilla.

Edit: *some people. My expectations for AI max out at zero, and the harms are large. So I'm speaking generally.

@eldersea @zzt We're sorry, the options for the invitation are "Yes / Maybe Later"

mark_f_lynch@mastodon.ie

@zzt “The state of that” was pretty much my reaction…

eldersea@expressional.social

@errant @zzt
LMAO yes, we're back to the "Does [tech company] understand consent?" meme.

nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org

@zzt saying the bad guys are "filling the internet with slop" on a page with a big slop video at the top is sure something

theorangetheme@en.osm.town

@errant @eldersea @zzt "Yes / Yes, but later"

endlessmason@hachyderm.io

@zzt
It's nothing. It's nothing by people who wouldn't know something if they had to pay somebody to do it.

@zzt I’ll never forgive the tech industry for replacing writers & editors like me with this drivel. I never truly knew how unnecessary my skills were considered to be until LLMs came along and ripped the mask off. This whole thing hurts to look at and to read… and it doesn’t matter to them. They think it’s good.

I’m bitter to be pushed out of tech but very glad not to be forced to create this soulless lifeless garbage.

@zzt mozilla try to actually work on firefox challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

mattcjordan@hachyderm.io

@zzt “unforced error” comes to mind after opening that page.

rycochet@furs.social

@zzt 'Behold computer nerds, we are just like you with our ascii and pandas! Open wide ato drink from the fountain of slop and think of when Firefox was a low bloat breath of fresh air rather than the exhalation of AI diminished techbros who have spent the past 5 years exclusively breathing their own farts!'

phronetic@hachyderm.io

@zzt That body text reads like LLM extruded word forms.

zzt@mas.to

firefox users: please make the LLM features in firefox a non-default plugin, opt-in, or better yet don’t do them at all

mozilla: DO NOT ACCEPT DEFAULT SETTINGS. slop is destroying the web! *posts a bunch of slop videos and text in an annual corporate update*

mozilla staff: we asked our community and they hallucinated that they don’t like AI even though we prompted them to not hallucinate.

mozilla’s remaining fan: why are you so angry at my best friend mozilla. stop being unreasonable.

gourd@indiepocalypse.social

@zzt I've rarely seen a website as so eminently deserving of a noogie as this fake captcha nonsense. Good lord.

bumbervevo@easymode.im

@zzt@mas.to

As in the web era, it's going to take a powerful community to win. Today Mozilla is gathering a rebel alliance of sorts, a growing network of open source developers, responsible startups, fellows, philanthropists and public-interest technologists working to shape what the internet becomes.

All you have to do to convince techbros to invest is make everything sound like Star Wars.
