Which is why it was supposed to be an open technology with no profits as its a culmination of humanity. Nobody should own it or make a profit from its creation.
This would be a problem even if the technology were completely free and open. LLMs poison peoples minds and make them boring, helpless and stupid.
If Facebook were a nonprofit, it would still be terrible for people.
I don't know. I think Facebook took a turn when it was engineered to boost engagement. Otherwise, it's just a forum for friends to make posts. What's wrong with that, in theory?
Even if that happened it would still be a terrible technology. The damage to the environment isn’t worth it.
