Zuckerberg: Open Source AI Is the Path Forward

Description:
Mark Zuckerberg has posted
an article announcing some new releases of the Llama large language
model and going on at length about why open-source models are important: AI 
has more potential than any other modern technology to increase
	human productivity, creativity, and quality of life  and to
	accelerate economic growth while unlocking progress in medical and
	scientific research. Open source will ensure that more people
	around the world have access to the benefits and opportunities of
	AI, that power isn't concentrated in the hands of a small number of
	companies, and that the technology can be deployed more evenly and
	safely across society. There is an ongoing debate about the safety of 
open source AI
	models, and my view is that open source AI will be safer than the
	alternatives. I think governments will conclude it's in their
	interest to support open source because it will make the world more
	prosperous and safer. Of course, whether Llama is truly open source 
is debatable at best, but it
is more open than many of the alternatives.
