@darby3 Techcrunch has the full memo

The only concrete change they’ve announced is bringing their Pocket, content, and AI teams into the Firefox Organisation. It’s light on actual strategy or plan

@torb Yeah. They’ve been directionless for a while now.

@annahavron 🙂

@paulcraig901 Thanks!

@torb Yeahk, if you’re deeply involved in tech circles at the moment, the AI Bubble is going to be overwhelming. And if you have VC funding it’s probably going to be impossible.

@torb Yeah, same. There’s also no way I’ll ever invest in their VR platform as a user the same way I have in iPhones and iPads if this is going to be their attitude towards developers.

@pimoore Thanks!

@torb Yeah. Absolutely true.

@faraixyz No, if I’ve run into that I’ve blanked it out of memory 🙂

And, yeah, it seems like we have a combination of old SEO practices spreading, new LLM tactics mass-producing gunk, and Google’s lay-offs leaving them less well-equipped to deal.

@paulcraig901 I know that. I spent a few years working in publishing. The distinction in the post between digital and PoD is deliberate. IME the major PoD services have higher variability than digital print runs.

@numericcitizen Thanks!

@maique Thanks!

@fgtech True.
