With LLaMA V2, Meta may be trying to benefit from the open-source community, similar to what Google has done with Android.
The Financial Times, citing three sources familiar with the project, reports that Meta wants to launch a commercial AI model to compete with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. The model is said to generate language, code, and images.
It may be a new variant of Meta’s LLaMA, a large language model used in numerous open-source projects. LLaMA v1 has only been released under a research license and therefore may not be used directly for commercial purposes. However, replicas exist.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already announced that a new AI model is in the works, which could be LLaMA v2 or under a different name. Meta wants to use the model for its services and offer it to external interested parties, according to Zuckerberg. Special attention is safety.
It is fucking terrifying that people like Musk and Zuckerberg are in control of the most powerful systems to ever exist in human history.
Sorry, what is Musk in control over? He won capitalism in a way (with a lucky spawn) but hes not actually in charge of anything valueble or dangerous is he?
Now facebook has been involved in so many privacy scandals, uploading your contacts from emails and phones, reading whatsapp messages. collecting medical information from other apps. They must have the largest database of human behaviour in the world.
That + AI Is really fucking scary…
Musk is in control of an equally large database of human behavior through Twitter and just announced a few days ago that he’s starting an AI company to build “the world’s most powerful AI which aims to understand the nature of the universe itself”. Facebook has been heavily invested in AI for years.
