      Mozilla has diversified… By jumping into AI.

      • Spent $65-265 million on AI that we know of
      • Bought an AI company for an undisclosed sum and funded more AI research for unknown amounts
      • Brought AI to Kenya (in a move strangely reminiscent of cryptocurrency companies trying to fix the “unranked” problem

      And shuttering previous diversification products and laying off staff.
