Llama 2 – Meta AI

In a free market economy everything is a strategic move to make the company more money. It's the nature of our incentive structure.

Yes, that's true. But also vast majority of transactions are win-win for both sides, creating more wealth for everyone involved.

Most, but not all things are strategic moves.

Some moves are purely altruistic. Some moves are semi-altruistic - they don't harm the company, but help it increase its reputation or even just allows them to offer people ways to help in order to retain talent. (Which is also kind of strategic, but in a different way.)

Also, some things are just mistakes and miscalculations.

This, in my view it's a (very smart) move in response to OpenAI/Microsoft and Google having their cold war-esque standoff.

Following the analogy : Meta is arming the Open source community with okish (but in comparison to the soviets and Americans shoddy) weapons and push the third position politically.

Amazon meanwhile is basically a neutral arms manufacturer with AWS, and Nvidia owns the patent on "the projectile"

I'm not trying to biting the hand that arms me - so thank you very much Meta and Mister Zuckerberg.

Now someone, somewhere can create this eras version of Linux, hopefully under this eras version of the GPL.

But Meta partnered with Microsoft for Llama 2.

Some degree of hedging is going to happen given that they're for-profit institutions and not nation states.

But yes I forced the analogy a bit hard :)

I think they mean when a for-profit company does it.

Even then. Nobody is perfect, not even companies.

Random example - various projects Google does that are basically to help the world, e.g. help forecast floods. https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/floo...

Only in a mythical marketplace are companies always rational.
