Sounds like attention rather than consciousness. You lose your attention.

I think he means before the official release.

1. Mozilla isn't working in a capital intensive domain like Transformer Tech unlike OpenAI so there is no need to bend over demands this much.

2. Mozilla Corp is fully owned by Mozilla Foundation. OpenAI Corp was created by the OpenAI non profit to take external investment. The OpenAI non profit chose to give chunks of the OpenAI Corp to investors because it needed money. By selling stakes, they gave control of the company away. That's the difference.

3. OpenAI Corp answers to their stakeholders of which OpenAI foundation is only one and a minor stakeholder. Mozilla Corp answers to Mozilla Foundation only. That's the difference.

4. Presentation. The mozilla websites for the foundation and the subsidiary both use the org domain which is used by non profits, unlike openain's com use. Not a rule but a choice in presentation.

There is no comparison here.

It's software used by many here so of course you will hear about Claude downtime here.

What insane price is that? Pro is $20 per month. Same price as a Netflix ad free sub.

No, addiction is an uncontrolled dependence. If you FEEL dependent on a substance to function as an adult and you are UNABLE to control that dependence (can't quit on a whim for let's say 4 months) despite harm, you are addicted.

Regular coffee usage gradually stains and erodes your teeth at a minimum. At certain doses, you worse your sleep quality and increase heart rate and blood pressure.

The above look like negative effects to me.

It is perfectly fine to accept the consequences. The problem is when it's a dependency and you cannot control it. Like doing base jump, it's clearly risky but you can make an informed decision about accepting the risk. If you feel like you NEED to do it and can't stop for lets say 5 months, that's where it gets concerning.

"From what I know" is epistemologically equivalent to "For me".

Ladybird has corporate sponsors too. Sponsorship is influence. Obviously, the more sponsorships you have the less influence an individual one have but it is worth knowing.

Under some definitions, the browser IS the core. You are bound at a fundamental level to your parent if you build on someone else's foundations. Firefox is probably a great one to do it but worth knowing that someone else owns the land upon which you stand.

Everything follows from this. Edge people, Chrome people have been living in a fairytale for believing that the keepers of their portal to the web were offering a product as complex and expensive as a browser without asking for anything in return.

Anyone knows that any company that gives you something for free will eventually want something from you. You accepted a free browser from a for-profit entity and paid nothing. Now, Faust has come to collect your soul.

This is probably coming from the music/film industry lobbying. They are generating artificial scarcity. Not unlike the diamond industry.

Most people book flights online, travel agents still make a lot of money. Doesn't negate that travel agency as a business is economically worse than ever.

Most people have cameras in their pockets that can take good photos, photographers still make a lot of money. Doesn't negate that being a photographer is economically worse than ever.

Hopefully, you see the pattern. You don't remember that companies that are no longer around.

- High heart rate and blood pressure

- Increased risk of arrhtymia

- Less deep sleep

- Disruption to your cortisol level dynamics

Whether you consider all of them not "bad" or worth the benefits is up to you. People also consider moderate consumption of alcohol worth its benefits.

Everyone has a different risk profile. Know the risks and choose as you please.
