MetaAI released their galactica chatbot a month before chatgpt, but it was heavily criticized for “dangerous AI generated pseudoscience nonsense” and shutdown a few days lter. Now OpenAI does the same and everyone praises them - well, I get why Yann is being saulty about it.

Galactica was doomed to fail because it was specifically marketed as a science tool which puts very high expectations on factual and mathematical correctness. ChatGPT on the other hand is marketed as chat.

Maybe they come to their senses and put it back. I wanted to use it to find references for my random ideas, see what results they have.

Fair point. But why is he blaming the people instead of his whole company going as far as "it's just people destroying Meta's reputation"?

I have high respects for him as a researcher, and in fact I've read his books and papers. He's great when he speaks as a researcher. It's different when he's speaks as a Meta employee vested with the companies interest. That's why I take his Meta-driven statements for/against companies with a grain of salt.

I wont be even surprised if the big tech companies are behind the Stable Diffusion/Midjourney lawsuit since it would do them good. Considering the fact that Meta partnered with Shutterstock to produce their own.
