Zuck releasing a billion dollar model is actually wild, like really undermining what OAI is doing. flexing compute like “yea we can do that not a big deal”

FB/Meta senior mgt has cared a lot about AI for many years. By way of example, here's a true story I haven't told before... Do you remember when Zuck was giving testimony to congress in April 2018? I was watching it live, when the phone rang. It was the CTO of Facebook.

Facebook has a long history of good contributions to opensource much before llama. Much better track record that Google, Amazon or any of the other large tech companies. Two that come to mind are ReactJs and Cassandra. #opensource #reactjs #Cassandra
Kinda wild that Meta is doing more open source AI than the company literally named “Open AI”
if i were google (mkt cap: $1.92T) and i failed so hard at shipping a desirable chat app to my 44.7% market share that regulators called my competition a “monopoly”, i would just die from embarrassment

That's why Silicon Valley Tech Companies rule. They are (on average) by far the most generous with equity packages, compared to anywhere else in the world.

i’ve been thinking about Meta’s support for open-source AI all day, wondering what zuck’s business justification must be. you can’t run a $1T co on ideology alone. but when you google the financials of Meta ($134B/yr) compared to a co like OAI, ($1.6B) it starts to make sense:
Google is finally growing a backbone. Maybe they can return to prominence finally
Sometimes I’m not even surprised anymore
If you got stuck in traffic because of these protests, it looks like you might be the victim of false imprisonment If you got stuck on the bridge, contact the CHP with your story so they can charge the protestors and hold them to account
