Mozilla Announces $225,000 for Art and Advocacy Exploring A.I.

This is an unpopular opinion here, but I'm tired of these attacks.

You have no idea what it takes to have _hundreds_ of engineers and supporting teams to work on a multi-million lines of code application that needs to be shipped to a giant group of users.

What do you think Mozilla is? A bunch of hackers in a room? It is a global company with 1200 employees. In a dozen offices around the world.

How do you think money disappears? You think Firefox and all the other things Mozilla does happen by itself? That this is all free? That this does not cost any money? ....

Let me first say that this is in no way an attack on Mozilla engineers. This isn't an attack on you, clearly the community loves your work.

The question you need to ask is if the chrome (browser) and codec team in Google add up to 1200. Or the IE+Edge and __add_MSFT_GRP__ add up to 1200.

Further, do those groups cost their parents $500M/year?

"""Mozilla seems to be subsidizing the whims of a corrupt few at the top"""

Please stop talking.
