larodi | on: Muse Glimmer: 30B-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows
Meta and its products, as a whole, is a threat to your kids, your mental health, your community's health and the planet as a whole. It is just sad and very repulsive everyone fell so easily addicted to their social drug. Yes - it is a drug, and it is hard to get off from.

Nothing redeems them at this point of time, they are doing exactly ZERO to redeem. Tossing open weight models (not opensource!!) is not a basis for redemption, and does not constitute remorse in any way. Trying to portray it as such is complicity to META's crimes against humanity.

Social media, often owned and perpetuated by Meta, has poisoned the world. It is not redeemable at this point.

I think it’s also worth pointing out that that there are numerous less evil options to choose from.

Perhaps none of the AI companies are shining examples of high ethics, but basically all of them have ethical high ground over Meta.

At least Anthropic isn’t sending private videos from pervert glasses to contract workers in Africa. It’s a low bar but it’s a bar nonetheless.

I personally don’t like, and wouldn’t work for Meta; but it’s an Apache 2.0 model.

I’m liking it, and I don’t see a personal moral contradiction here. Do you use React for frontend for example?

I also wish this HN post is a bit more focused on the release, and less noise around Meta.

There’s no moral contradiction, but there is a moral decision.

I don’t use React for front end nor do I willingly use any Meta product.

I would like to focus on the release of the Volkswagen Beetle and hear less noise about Adolf Hitler.

They're still using Elon's servers, though. Not like their models are any good anyways
