Meta asks the government to block OpenAI’s switch to a for-profit
www.theverge.com
“OpenAI wants to change its status while retaining all of the benefits that enabled it to reach the point it has today,” Meta argues.

Meta is asking California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block OpenAI’s planned transition from a non-profit to for-profit entity.

In a letter sent to Bonta’s office this week, Meta says that OpenAI “should not be allowed to flout the law by taking and reappropriating assets it built as a charity and using them for potentially enormous private gains.”

The letter, which was first reported on by The Wall Street Journal and you can read in full below, goes so far as to say that Meta believes Elon Musk is “qualified and well positioned to represent the interests of Californians in this matter.” Meta supporting Musk’s fight against OpenAI is notable given that Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were talking about literally fighting in a cage match just last year.

    90% of Facebook content is AI generated content now. I cant even see what my friends are doing anymore. Makes me want to just delete it. But, I do occasionally see stuff from family and friends, which is the only reason I keep it. Some people I only stay in touch with through Facebook. But seriously, fuck that company.

      Getting rid of Facebook was easily one of the best things I’ve done. The people that are important will find other ways to reach out.

      I have only used groups to ask questions. Do people still do that, go browse the Facebook feed? I thought that’s a grandma thing

        I got a Facebook again about 6 months ago so I could post our wedding photos for our friends. Before that I hadn’t had a Facebook in like 5 years.

      Here’s a thought. Leave Facebook and spend more time with family and friends wether it be in person, on the phone or over text. You’ll feel better for doing it and your family will be happy to hear from you. Deleted mine close to 10 years ago and have never had a desire to go back.

      I have yet to receive a single chat message that was AI generated. Being able to connect to old college buddies that I otherwise would loose contact with is literally the only use case for Facebook

          Sure, but my point is that nobody posts anything on Facebook anymore. Its just bots and, well, maybe grandmas.

          Facebook today is essentially just an address book to check in on old friends when you’ve lost their contact info
