Meta says it won’t sign Europe AI agreement, calling it an overreach

Interesting because OpenAI committed to signing

OpenAI does direct business with government bodies. Not sure about Meta.

About 2 weeks ago OpenAI won a $200 million contract with the Defense Department. That's after partnering with Anduril for quote "national security missions." And all that is after the military enlisted OpenAI's "Chief Product Officer" and sent him straight to Lt. Colonel to work in a collaborative role directly with the military.

And that's the sort of stuff that's not classified. There's, with 100% certainty, plenty that is.

Sam has been very pro-regulation for a while now. Remember his “please regulate me” world tour?

The biggest player in the industry welcomes regulation, in hopes it’ll pull the ladder up behind them that much further. A tale as old as red tape.

Meta isn't actually an AI company, as much as they'd like you to think they are now. They don't mind if nobody comes out as the big central leader in the space, they even release the weights for their models.

Ask Meta to sign something about voluntarily restricting ad data or something and you'll get your same result there.

> Let us not fool ourselves. There are those online who seek to defend a master that could care less about them. Fascinating.

How could you possibly infer what I said as a defense of Meta rather than an indictment of OpenAI?

Fascinating.

Yeah well OpenAI also committed to being open.

Why does anybody believe ANYthing OpenAI states?!
