  Why is the guy a creep?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[RANT] Why is so much coverage of "AI" devoted to this belief that we've never had automation before (and that management even really wants it)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hullo! Beyond the pantomime of AI, I noticed something similar. I’m in the workforce for about 20 years now.

  The management pushes back hard when you get too close to changing the modus operandi, because its a few short steps away from automating away the middle management. If you get rid of one cohort, whats there to say that you cant do the dame of another.

  Abstractions aside, it more of the same, company A sells consulting to company B, that sells services to company C. The product from “A” is barely if at all seen in the output towards “C”, because of the whole, overinflated process. Just so you can sell some bullshit along with the meat and potatoes.

  Dont fret OP, I think you are right on the money, regardless of some here say.

  You are right, guess I became jaded over the years.

  I’ll think of your comment next time when I’ll try to be ignorant. Thanks.

  Just leave it. Don’t expect people to have a balanced mindset and you will lead a calmer life.

  I did, i abso-fucking-lutely did look at their numbers.

  The 2024 numbers are not fully in, we can take a look at 2023. here is a link for you to follow along - …mozilla.net/…/mozilla-fdn-2023-fs-final-short-12…

  I am skipping the income part, because its clear where they get the vast majority of their money.

  [in millions, rounded up] Total revenue: $653

  From which expenditures:

  Program staff: $202.4 Management: $123.4 Fundraising: $2.4 Non-salary expenses: $162.2 Grants and fellowships: $6.4 Income tax: $14.4

  Total expenditure: $511.1

  So when you say “the bulk of money is spent on charity”, do you mean salaries? Because from what I can see, that is where the “bulk” is.

  The charity part, from the 2023 revenue is 1%.

  The mozilla foundation needs to be gutted or dissolved. Why do you need so much money? Oh, is it maybe because your fucking execs gobbke it all up while the devs scrounge for scraps and the community contributes for free to your projects, you fucking executive pigs?

  I hope it crashes and burns. I would bet serious money that the softare projects would not only survive but thrive without them.
