Mozilla ☛ The Mozilla Blog: Mozilla Builders: Celebrating community-driven innovation in AI [Ed: Mozilla pushing more Hey Hi (AI) nonsense instead of browser and Web standards]
This year, we celebrated a major milestone: the first Mozilla Builders demo day! More than just a tech event, it was a celebration of creativity, community and bold thinking. With nearly 200 applicants from more than 40 countries, 14 projects were selected for the Builders accelerator, showcasing the diversity and talent shaping the future of AI.
