Yeah ...maybe... we're missing something, or maybe they just wanted to hire the 3 guys in the company and called it an acquisition?

<edit> the other comments here are also calling this out as a hiring effort.

Not worth a mention on HN, IMO. </edit>

Blog post says it's an acqui-hire and they want that company's ethical AI team (why did a status-update-bot company have an ethical AI team?!) to work on... Pocket, of all things. Yeesh.

May Pocket will soon offer to set your Slack status based on what you're reading. You know, things you need an ethical AI team for.

It needs to figure out the productive spin on your slacking off and update your status accordingly.

Both the Pulse and Pocket acquisitions look like corrupt favors done by Mozilla executives for their friends, so it makes sense to lump both together.
