I don’t think you’ve paid enough attention. Back when ChatGPT first launched, they were treated as saints.

The negative opinions have corresponded with public sentiment souring towards them in general (this did happen quite quickly, however).

Can you provide even one example? AI is my autistic obsession, and I never saw anything like that on lemmy even once.

I was even regularly searching for “AI” using the search feature daily.

I have never once seen this, and I don’t find it believable at all, honestly.

Heh, I warn about Mozilla/Firefox all the time and get the same. I hope I’m wrong though :(

Everything was clear about Mozilla the moment they started fighting the ecosystem around Gecko, with alternative browsers, useful extensions and so on. And, of course, the old usable UI.

People just forget what they don’t know how to process.

Disagree, XUL was a dead end that either needed shooting behind the bike shed or it’d have taken Mozilla down with it inevitably. It froze their internal architecture to a design that didn’t care about multicore or modern security. Switching to a proper extension api (it didn’t matter if it was chromes or their own, only that they are willing to make their own decisions, like in manifest v3).

That said, I suspect the real death blow was when they killed servo, that project was their distant salvation, a chance to genuinely outcompete technologically and direct where browsers need to go next. I too hope I’m wrong and they can figure out a path forward, but they’ve shown little ambition from the top, so I’m not holding my breath.

Edit: you could argue that the solution to XUL should have been an upgrade to modern design rather than death, but that would have just been an expensive temporary reprieve, the world doesn’t stop changing, it was always going to be slow to correct to whatever direction they needed to go next (and meanwhile every extension dev would be screaming murder every time they killed some braindead api designed 20 years ago).

Weird, I said this shit for years, and I was upvoted into the heavens, agreed with, called a hero, and acknowledged as a result.

Maybe is not what was being said?

There was never another outcome.

Capitalism breeds one thing, and it certainly isn’t innovation, and it most definitely isnt not-for-profit innovation.

Capitalism is extremely good at breeding superficial, go-to-market innovation. It’s less good at funding the pure research that leads to major discoveries. But once it gets closer to engineering than to science, it’s highly effective. Even Marx commented on that.

Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.
They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.
So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!

Have a partnership with Microsoft and ship Windows 12 as the new “AI only” OS. Every command must go through ChatGPT to work. Then push updates to older Win11 OS to make them unusable.

From what I’ve heard, they don’t need to push updates to achieve that

They’ll upgrade the Aibo and stick Altman’s face on it. People in offices can enjoy kicking it.

Based on their funding rounds, $10 billion lasts about 18 months.

So about $555 million per month.

They don’t care if they earn money the next 5-7 years.

And they will hit the point of a great model doing human work for less than a monthly salary. It’s just a matter of time.
