Thunderbolt is Mozilla’s new self-hostable AI client designed for organizations seeking to run AI on their own infrastructure and maintain data in-house.
I can get behind this concept for those that want email summaries, I suppose. But absolutely not from a donation run nonprofit who was told time and again that we do not want ai shoved in every orifice.
However an AI by a nonprofit is the only kind of AI I would potentially use.
I’m not against the LLM tech, it’s that by using it I would support the shittiest of megacorps that use their power for evil (from training data to direct politics, and let’s not forget markets disruptions).
AI by a for-profit has guaranteed enshitification built into the business model, otherwise they wouldn’t get any capital.
Could you explain what email summaries have to do with this announcement? Thunderbird and Thunderbolt are separate applications. Thunderbolt doesn’t include AI models, it is merely a frontend to an AI API of choice, similar to how Thunderbird is a frontend to an email server of choice.
