If your ethics deem Meta ethical, they probably need recalibrating.

Actor and action conflation is incredibly common these days. If someone is bad and worth condemnation, all their actions must also be bad.

If a bad actor’s actions appear good, skepticism is warranted.

The actor is bad, the deed is good. Though, the open sourcing of llama 2 and beyond was pushed by Yann Lecun and others, some of whom have moved on from the company. Zuckerberg supports the AI initiatives but he's hardly leading them himself.

What argument do you have that releasing llama was actually good? They gave AI access to terrorists and criminals as much as they did to independent researchers. Arguably they are partially responsible for escalating blackhat cyber capabilities that are contributing to the rapid rise in attacks. Open source is neither inherently good or bad. The most you could really say is that it was accelerationist

Adolph Hitler is often credited (with varying accuracy) with the Autobahn, fixing Germany’s unemployment and launching Volkswagen to produce affordable motor vehicles.

None of these make him a good person any more than Meta’s occasional positive acts make it a good company.

It's more likely that their motivation was bad.
