A gangster will give free turkeys on thanksgiving while also selling drugs to the same community, enslaving them in the process. Very good analogy you found, thank you.
My problem is you seem naive enough to believe Zuck decided to open source stuff out of the goodness of his heart and not because he did some math in his head and decided it's advantageous to him, from a game theoretic standpoint, to commoditize LLMs.
To even have the audacity to claim Meta is ETHICAL is baffling to me. Have you ever used FB / instagram? Meta is literally the gangster selling drugs and also playing the filantropist where it costs him nothing and might also just bring him more money in the long term.
You must have no notion of good and evil if you believe for a second one person can create facebook with all its dark patterns and blatant anti user tactics and also be ethical.. because he open sourced stuff he couldn't make money from.
IMO in a company (or rather, a conglomerate) as big as Meta, you can have teams that are genuinely good people and also have teams that don't have principles or refuse to live by them. In other words, divisions of big companies aren't homogeneous.
