Interview: Firefox's chief on why he hopes a redesign will help win users from Chrome

Publisher preview

Mozilla’s Ajit Varma explains why a redesign suits the fight for the open web. Today, the Firefox 157 update will roll out a redesign of the web browser across desktop and mobile platforms.

In advance of the redesign’s launch, I spent half an hour chatting…

Within that new parlance, two phrases have become focal points: stochastic parrots and existential risk. And at the center of those is one prominent AI researcher who has never stood down from a fight, Timnit Gebru. Gebru came into the public eye several years ago after sparring with Google over a research paper she coauthored that called out biases in the companyâs AI, saying…

Introducing GPT-6.1 Sol

Publisher preview
