Mozilla is looking to deploy its roughly $1.4 billion in reserves to support "mission driven" companies and nonprofits, and is particularly focused on AI.
Servo is new web engine that Mozilla was building with Rust. Both Servo and Rust were initially developed by brilliant Mozilla engineers, cast aside by their incompetent, corrupt leadership and only thrived when they were unyoked from Mozilla, where good ideas go to die
It doesn’t sound to me like any GPUs will be bough for this? The comments about having fewer resources and being at a financial disadvantage implies to me like they know there’s no winning by trying to be the next OpenAI - none of the mentioned allied companies appear to be doing anything like that either.
Heh true, but only if they’re rented for long enough to make the total rental costs outweigh the cost of buying them new. Given that that bubble’s going to pop some day, renting still seems like the less risky strategy 😅
Don’t blow all the money on GPUs Mozilla, we need you to keep developing Firefox at least until Servo is ready to take over.
The fuck is Servo? (from someone thoroughly annoyed at Mozilla’s FireFox)

Sounds quite interesting.
Damn it, Mozilla used to be good… When is the world going to learn that business majors are cancer!?

Not sure what the grand strategic vision entails, but if the GPUs are not bought but only rented that can be even more expensive.
