Just learned: Software engineers used to do manual data labeling at Scale AI while Alex Wang was CEO. After he left, new leadership joined, and were HORRIFIED to learn this. Stopped it ASAP Now at Meta, software engineers are assigned manual data labeling... see the pattern?
Everything Zuck does is to extinguish OpenAI I think First it was open sourcing Llama, this way he thought if their model was just as good but free-to-use people wouldn't have to pay OpenAI because it was closed, but it didn't work Then it was essentially buying Scale AI for $14B. Scale AI does a lot of the data labeling and creates a lot of the LLM data sets that OpenAI trains on I think. Getting control of that and removing OpenAI as a partner makes it harder for them to train models Next is poaching of the OpenAI staff to hollow it out from the inside Zuck sees OpenAI as its biggest threat I think
