> and open source

I'm kind of split about this. Yes, Facebook done a lot of great Open Source in the past, and I'm sure they'll do more great Open Source in the future.

But it's really hard to see them in a positive light when they keep misleading people about Llama, and publish blog posts that say how important Open Source is etc etc, then refuse to actually release Llama as Open Source, refuse to elaborate on why they see it as Open Source while no one else does it and refuse to take a step back and understand how the FOSS community feels when they actively mislead people like this.

Zuckerberg does what’s good for Zuckerberg. We should all have zero reservations about what kind of person this guy is at this point. If open source is beneficial he’ll do that, but when it stops being beneficial you can count on him to do what’s best for himself at the expense of the general public.

Zuckerberg is just following the Bezos strategy of someone else’s margin being his opportunity. This open source move is predatory.

I personally think our academia should be training and curating these kinds of models and the data they are based on, but this is an acceptable second best.

Aggressively commoditizing the complement has been a good strategy for them.

Also the fact that he is delivering on Fediverse integration with Threads.

I don't think most people expected that to happen so quickly or frankly at all.

The hate is mostly from people who don't use their products. Plenty of people are happy users
