Mozilla has diversified... By jumping into AI.

  • Spent $65-265 million on AI that we know of
  • Bought an AI company for an undisclosed sum and funded more AI research for unknown amounts
  • Brought AI to Kenya (in a move strangely reminiscent of cryptocurrency companies trying to fix the "unranked" problem

And shuttering previous diversification products and laying off staff.

Saw that, totally can't imagine how any of that is going to backfire.
