Well, it’s not just about “too much ruthless efficiency.”
Zuckerburg fired a lot of brainpower in their ML divisions. He torched their landmark in the “AI” landscape, THE thing that literally set the standard for open weights LLMs (Llama), and hired a bunch of Tech Bro narcissists in their place, because he’s doesn’t have the first clue about how LLMs work, nor how important Llama and its wake is.
They were on track to be at the center of open weights LLMs, setting the standard for the whole world, but Zuck, and only Zuck, blew it up because he is an ignorant coward. He ran, like he does from every bandwagon he jumps on at the first bump.
Meta still develops PyTorch and a few non-text models openly, but we’ll see how long that lasts.
Aside: I’m sick of everyone pretending like these ultra-wealthy industry runners are somehow geniuses. Like Bezos swallowing the “space datacenter” scam whole, Google’s leadership consciously sabotaging their core product, or gestures at Elon Musk’s Twitter page.
They’re making terrible choices. They clearly do not have the scientific/technical background to make them. Their decisions aren’t “hard” like the headlines make it out to be; even for their own pure self interest, they’re irrational.
