"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

Meta is a very large organization, and I'm willing to believe that a good chunk of Meta FAIR (the lab releasing all of this stuff) truly do care about innovations for advancing AI safety and are doing great work along these lines. I'm not disagreeing with your point about the company being led by its financial incentives as a unit, but let's also allow ourselves permission to celebrate this work by this group of people.

Safety and capabilities research are pretty much two sides of the same coin.

It is a shame that this is flagged for being denigrating or negative. The better comment could be to ask where is the documentation for safety? How do we define it? Where are the disclosures about failures, negative results, etc? Perhaps these things are unanswerable, but raising awareness of them is important.

Don’t you love the doublespeak of using “FAIR” as well!
