Love their nonsense excuse they they are trying to protect us from misuse of "superintelligence".

>“We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible. That said, superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns. We’ll need to be rigorous about mitigating these risks and careful about what we choose to open source.” -Mark Zuckerberg

Meta has shown us daily that they have no interest in protecting anything but their profits. They certainly don't intend to protect people from the harm their technology may do.

They just know that saying "this is profitable enough for us to keep it proprietary and restrict it to our own paid ecosystem" will make the enthusiasts running local Llama models mad at them.

Also, the Meta AI 'team' is currently retooling so they can put something together with a handful of Zuck-picked experts making $100m+ each rather than hundreds making ~$1m each.
