    They’re only saying they’re building a god in order to convince angel investors to keep pouring money into a new technology that has yet to prove that it can even so much as turn a profit on the queries they’re being paid to process. Meta may not have embraced the AI hype as much as Google and Twitter, but let’s not forget their stupid little stint just two years ago with the Metaverse. Maybe Zuck just has to tell himself he’s not an evil antagonist from an action movie, it’s those other guys!

      lol have you seen the state of facebook recently? they’re all in on this shit too. they’ve just recognized that the models are a complementary good to the content they produce (and the platform that hosts the content), so they’re trying to commoditize the models by open-sourcing them.
