    Pot, kettle. Mozilla CEO goes all in on AI.

    No shit. Even opening a Word document now requires me to close two separate Copilot interfaces that open automatically and capture focus: one that auto-summarises the document, and one that wants me to use it to edit the document.

    This is at work, of course. At home I switched to Linux rather than “upgrade” to Win 11.

    They always did that. The bigger upset is Mozilla being angry not at the AI being included at all, but that MS is pushing their own AI instead of serving Mozilla’s AI ambitions.

    A new shit I noticed today: right click a file, the first option is “open with copilot” how about not??
