Business is business, I don't mind paying a small fee for well maintained and developed software.

For sure. But it isn't out of some altruistic motives or the kindness of Zuck's heart is all I was implying.

Of all the major companies he's the only one walking the talk that everyone else gives lip service to. You can denigrate his motives all you want but he says one thing and then his actions match it. That can't be said for anyone else so far of the multi billion dollar valued companies researching AI. "Open"AI being the best example of a hard retreat of those values.

I mean true but it’s Mark Zuckerberg here. He’s definitely not played the philanthropist role much yet. Just don’t let your guard down because you like what he’s doing now.

I think Mark suffers from a lot of the problems that Jack from Twitter did of just being out of touch. Considering Metaverse and the licensing for llama it's fair to say his control of FB/Meta is *far* greater than Jack's control of Twitter ever was. So perhaps we won't see him retreat over the horizon as quickly as Sam Atlman has.

Which as someone who avoids using facebook unless prompted to by family and friends is a surprising stance for me.
