That's such a terrible take.

For a hot minute Meta had a top 3 LLM and open sourced the whole thing, even with LeCunn's reservations around the technology.

At the same time Meta spat out huge breakthroughs in:

- 3d model generation

- Self-supervised label-free training (DINO). Remember Alexandr Wang built a multibillion dollar company just around having people in third world countries label data, so this is a huge breakthrough.

- A whole new class of world modeling techniques (JEPAs)

- SAM (Segment anything)

> - Self-supervised label-free training (DINO). Remember Alexandr Wang built a multibillion dollar company just around having people in third world countries label data, so this is a huge breakthrough.

If it was a breakthrough, why did Meta acquire Wang and his company? I'm genuinely curious.
