Jamie Zawinski ☛ Hypertext emerges from his well to shame the tech industry.
I was introducing a friend to Serial Experiments Lain and when we got to the episode where the Knights of the Eastern Calculus are doing an infodump on MAJIC-12, Vannevar Bush, John Lilly and Ted Nelson, I made a comment about Nelson and my friend said, "Wait, these people are real??"
So then I got to tell the story about the time I met him. He came to Netscape to, basically, yell at us for fucking up his dream, with our unidirectional hyperlinks, our documents that were not editable by all readers, our complete lack of version control and transclusion. This halfassed abomination we had built, this was no MEMEX. This garbage had set back the dream at least 50 years.

Mozilla ☛ Mozilla’s Biggest AI Moments [Ed: Mozilla chasing stupid buzzwords while abandoning important projects means Google will gain more]
Just over a year ago Mozilla launched two big investments in AI — a $35 million investment in a responsible tech fund, Mozilla Ventures and a $30 million investment in a R+D Lab developing trustworthy AI, Mozilla.AI. Since those initial investments, Mozilla has accelerated our efforts to build and deploy AI that adheres to our mission of 25 years — putting people first, while being truly trustworthy and open.
