Is Mark Zuckerberg flip flopping on open source AI?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-14 21:13:10

Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg shared a rambling memo outlining his vision to build AI "superintelligence." In the memo, Zuckerberg hinted that the pursuit of more powerful AI might require the company to be more selective in what it open sources. Citing "safety concerns" he wrote that Meta would need to be "rigorous" about such decisions. The line stood out to many as Zuckerberg — who once said " fuck that " in reference to closed platforms — has made open source central to Meta's AI strategy.

Meta’s AI Recruiting Campaign Finds a New Target

We Need a European Sovereign Tech Fund

Open source software is open digital infrastructure that our economies and societies rely on.

So we ask: how can the public sector better support open source maintenance?

The unholy alliance between Silicon Valley and the Republican Party is no longer new.
