This was a bad look considering the "enthusiast" opinion on Firefox and AI, but it's a worse look considering the fact that this is a Mozilla blog openly talking about working with war criminals who have just planned the bombing of a school and murder of girls in Iran.

Publishing this was a choice, and it's a choice that reflect poorly on whether there are any remaining shared values in our communities.

No red lines in the pursuit of LLMs. The bigotry inherent in distilling the corpus of western creation into a statistical model is fine. The war applications are fine. The environmental implications are fine. This could be the best technology in the world for a task and you'd still be a bastard to use and promote it.
