Mark Zuckerberg Is Coming for Sam Altman and OpenAI

Very strange juxtaposition to have a company owned by a non-profit, calling its product "Open AI" that is definitely not open and not free competing with a for-profit mega corp's product that is both free and open source.

> The risks to Meta were manifold. People spending time speaking to ChatGPT might ignore their friends on WhatsApp.

ChatGPT replacing human interaction/friendship seems like a stretch (at least for the moment). Seems much more likely that Meta just realizes that these chat apps are going to replace traditional search engines and there's a huge opportunity to unseat Google.

What are some good alternatives for actually FOSS LLMs? The leading LLMs would seem to be ChatGPT-4 and LLama 2, but OpenAI isn't open, nor is a license that restricts usage even just larger limits free, which Llama is licensed under (and people are buying Facebook's lies that it is actually open-source).

Meta’s aspiration might be to take on OpenAI, but so far they have not released a single consumer product that can compete with ChatGPT’s success. This article paints a positive picture for Meta. Does it really match reality?

I'm not a fan of the personification here, but certainly someone emerging from a cave after 5 years would think Meta and OpenAI's attitude towards open-source should be totally swapped.

Paid article. Curious what the takeaway is from the paywalled portion.
