I'm in the middle on this one. I totally agree it sucks that this isn't something we can use and it is being used to manipulate our emotions. On the other hand, it is a good road map that others could possibly recreate. Having created an AI system that any of the engineers in the company can use (and build off of each other) not just the data science team is pretty cool.

Some of my most popular blog posts have been explanations as to how closed source video game engines work. Some of the most popular conference talks are on closed source solutions to encountered problems.
Dismissing a blog post simply because it describes closed source software is silly.

Yeah although we might not get to see exactly what's under the hood, key information and solutions shared by an insightful post can be used and adapted by the community anyway
The optimist in me says that the reason this hasn't been open sourced is because a lot of the distributed code is tied specifically to FB's infrastructure - but I guess we'll wait and see.
