    I think creatives on Facebook overestimate their value to an extent, I use Facebook to see what my friends and family are doing, and because the sports I do are mostly arranged through Facebook pages.

    The webcomics etc I follow are cool, but if they stopped posting I wouldn’t really miss them all that much.

      Meta also owns Instagram. The comment in the comic would have better directed at that platform

    The goal is manifold; one for example is to have AI agents talk to your customers in your Instagram shop when they have questions.

    Another example is internal tools at Meta; obviously I can’t go into too much detail, but the AI tools help the development workflow a lot.

    AI also pairs well with the smart glasses like the Raybans or Orion. You might not like it, but having your glasses explain your health insurance at the hospital or be a personal fitness coach at the gym are actually very helpful use cases.

    I know there are some very loud and dedicated haters out there, but “that no one wants”? Bro needs to get out of his bubble.

      I haven’t heard anyone articulate anything compelling about consumer-marketed AI so please tell me! There’s loads of really good uses of AI (medical imaging seems really promising) but the ones I know about are so specialised that I can’t see why I would need “AI” in my day to day.

        Parent council used it to whip up a Halloween story for our event, it fleshed it out which ended up saving time. Needed some shaving, but nothing as intensive as writing out the entire story yourself for something that is essentially a one time thing.

    Creators on Facebook do get paid though, at least if they’re big enough I guess 🤔 https://creators.facebook.com/earn-money

    Also the AI model Meta maintains (Llama) is the most powerful open-source model that anyone can use and even build their own commercial products on top of for free, so I’m not sure it’s accurate that nobody wants it?

      Only the inference code of LLaMA (which runs the model) is open-source. The model itself is not, as you’re given neither the training data, nor the model weights.

        I don’t know much about AI models, but that’s still more than other vendors are giving away, right? Especially "Open"AI. A lot of people just care if they can use the model for free.

        How useful would the training data be? Training of the largest Llama model was done on a cluster of over 100,000 Nvidia H100s so I’m not sure how many people would want to repeat that.

          Without the same training data you wouldn’t be able to recreate the results even when having the computing power. Thus it’s not fully open source. Training data is a part of the source to create the result, “LLM”. It’s like having to add your own lines of code to open source program to make it work because the company doesn’t provide it.

          scientific institutions and governments could rent enough GPUs to train their own models, with potentially public funding and public accountability, and also it’d be nice to know if the data llama was trained with was literally just facebook user data. i’m not really in the camp of “if user content is on my site then the content belongs to me”.
