Microsoft, Mozilla, & Red Hat: A.I. and Political Advocacy is the future of computing
Microsoft, Firefox maker Mozilla, & Red Hat envision a future where computers are focused on Artificial Intelligence & Political Advocacy (and Activism). Where do others, like Apple & Ubuntu, stand?

At 6:28, you read the article headline incorrectly; it states that she is a 'public interest advocate', not a "political interest advocate". Unless you are implying that is what it practically means, I don't see how this article supports your claim that the Mozilla Foundation is focusing on political advocacy in the future.
I need to escape this industry
The only political advocacy that companies should incentivize is to let employees freely organize their unionization to get the best deal for their gains and benefits, maybe even AI to help them?
I think the AI crash will take longer than you think. Though I do think it's coming.
We need a countermovement.
Windows-Users are not Human .. they are data-points
Microsoft is doing an any% speedrun in making people with brains move to other OSes lmfao.
Is there a recommended browser alternative?
I love the AI "imposter revolution" where fools use AI to try and do their job, then they hire me at a hugely inflated rate to come in and fix stuff. I have all the fancy AI tools too! Mostly garbage that writes garbage code for garbage people.
Mozilla go woke go broke
What am I supposed to do? Where do I go?
@BryanLunduke For someone who values free speech, privacy, and wants to avoid "woke" politics in the leadership, which Linux Distro is the best to throw your support behind?
Yeah, these people don't care about tech as much as they do about pushing their political agenda.
I don't really mind companies focusing on AI, to be honest. It seems to be direction tech is evolving towards, and for once I would like Linux not to be late to the party.
I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing and covering what you’re covering. You’re the only one doing it. Stay political, my friend.
"Political advocacy" is clearly good for business. We're not paying though, so who is?
Glad to hear Debian isn't caught up in too much of this nonsense. It's them or a BSD for me.
Can't wait for this efffing AI bubble to burst.
Companies are treating AI like they treated blockchain a few year ago. Its an easy direction for companies with no original ideas. Apple will certainly jump on board and when they do the apple fans will say "apple invented AI"
GNU/Linux users: Oh no! Anyways…
political matters should never be used in other matters than what it was intended for. avoid AI we have brains to use
The intelligent will use AI to enhance themselves and become more intelligent, the stupid 99% will leave their brain cell at the door and get AI to do everything.
One aspect I find so maddening is that these woke companies ad nauseum talk about green energy and sustainability while jumping on the AI bandwagon that will consume an insane amount of energy, which includes many silly features like finding a brown handbag in your search history.
Gnome should outlaw virtual hugs to create a safe space where everybody feels welcome and accepted. So they'll attract the developers who will port their desktop environment to the PinePhone and other smartphones in the future.
We can fight against this to somee extent by being awake and creative adaptable geeks
The pilgrims, the king or queen of England and his/her buddies did all of this type of stuff first. To this day, no body can, nor ever will, turn it off.
Bryan, I had no idea you were back on youtube! How did I miss that? Nice to see you
Hey Lunduke have you noticed coincidentally that all these corporations that are very corrupt are either publically shared(stocks) or have a foundation to handle part of their income for them?
In all fairness, not slathering your public facing speech with AI this and AI that is kind of a bad idea considering that AI is the modern NFT/crypto craze.
So they want all the power. AI to develop all the content and articles within the rules they set. And politics to control everything in the physical world.
Old man yells at kids to get off his lawn!
I appreciate this fact based research. I don't want ai. Why is everyone so crazy for it. Just make a decent operating system. I don't want all the fluff.
Embracing green technology should not be considered "political advocacy." We should care about reducing our carbon footprint — and thus mitigating the oncoming droughts, wildfires, diseases, and migrant crises — regardless of political party or ideology.
translation it wants to make you vote how they want forever.
Political opinions of those who make your information processing tools, once those opinions are let to start affecting the products they make, will inevitably translate into some form of censorship or undue pressure on their end users. As for AI, personally I dislike the tools that pretend to be more clever then users. First – they never are. Second – the tool developers will inevitably do their best to teach users to become more stupid then their tools. Jensen "kids shouldn't learn coding" Huang is a good example (like we don't already have the software trend to not really add in functionality but to add in resource consumption for a couple of decades).
The news said "THE BIGGEST DANGER TO AI IS MISINFORMATION!!!" If you don't believe what the news says, without evidence, you are branded a tech heretic. We are ruled over by silicon valley fascists that require capital punishment from Nuremberg events alone.
I heard someone say AI is snake oil for Wallstreet, and it makes sense. You can imagine investors coming into meetings with these companies, and asking them about their AI plans without having idea of what they're talking about.
I really hope we get some more development behind Haiku OS so we have a good alternative that can run on older hardware that avoids this AI BS!
Sigh I need a new browser… And I hate all chrome derivatives.
AI in Windows, is the ultimate sales-pitch for Linux.
The old adage springs to mind: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Time to build our own browser, with blackjack and hookers…
AI is tripe, ask Cabose
I'm embarrassed to say I use firefox 60% of the time because I'm lazy.
We need natural intelligence in the tech industry a lot more than we need artificial intelligence.
The Current Decade is once again the 20s and soon the 30s, and the authoritarian social constructivists who are out to save the world by removing all the "problematic" people from the equation in order to get to utopia are on the march yet again, and now they're developing curated AI tools that can control the flow of information to the general population like never before…
Not good.
thank you Lunduke, for talking about this.
i also find this very horrifying from a privacy perspective, Ai needs to be boycotted at least in this case because if not now, then never.
Guess I'll try MenuetOS again.
I need PC jannie to keep me safe from wrongthink and my own free will 😢
It's very interesting reasoning, that goes into why such a broken dead end, has such a high priority and a high level of praise, from western corporations and the western upper classes.
Ever since occupy wallstreet, they realized that their days were numbered as long as they had an underclass who understood what corrupt macro economics meant. From then until now, they've been applying a consistent effort to grind down and destroy that underclass.
AI doesn't work — but they need it to work. If they're going to make it, they need it to replace that underclass.
World took a wrong turn in past and we live in alternative reality now.
