Compared to OpenAI's antics I think this is actually a very reasonable move, and a good example of the less glamorous but more concrete reality of actual AI risk management. There's a concrete harm -- disruptive ease of impersonation over common voice communication channels. Tools for this will diffuse out anyway, because at the heart of the problem is a bad cryptography-style security assumption. We assumed voices were expensive to clone in real time with high fidelity, turns out maybe they aren't. In time, societal expectations will shift, like they did with photographs, but it sounds like Meta is making the responsible choice to not accelerate the cats ahead of the mice.
