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.
Steelmanning the argument, I’d say: you could outcompete the companies doing those things, e.g. by giving people AI that runs on their device and is ethically trained.
It might seem hard to compete at the moment, but given that there’d be no costs to running them, I don’t think it’s necessarily impossible: even if the quality is lower, it’s very hard to beat free.
Hopefully, if the OpenAIs of this world go bankrupt, they’ll stop hammering, say, OpenStreetMap.
