> Meta isn't being "heroic" or "winning a long fought battle" or whatever analogy you want to use in order to prop them up and make them look better than they are.
The AI race is real and the AI research Meta has done deserves praise, as well as their engineering contributions.
> Do I appreciate the free weights from them? Yes. Did they contribute to a genocide in Myanmar? Also yes.
So does that mean we shouldn't use their technologies? If you are looking for big tech companies that have no skeletons that are also significantly progressing the field of AI, then you're going to be very disappointed.
> Take the weights and move on. They don't deserve the excessive praise. They aren't a rock band. They are an advertising company.
Perhaps it is you that needs to move on, unless you will actually do something about it?
