In my case, that's true. I do follow the topic, but from some
safe distance.

AFAIU, things have changed since them. Much more machine learing is
involved these days, due to the availability of huge parallel computing
power even on mobile devices (GPU, dedicated hardware -- the marketing
buzzword is "AI edge").

The challenge these days is in collecting enough and diverse sample
data to develop (aka "deep learn") a suitable "model". And that's where
Mozilla's once-deep pockets tried to help.

But, as I said, I'm not an expert, but I play one on TV.
