OP point out that OpenAI used the "too dangerous to release" marketing ploy with GPT-2... Positioning this as "both sides" have played this card.

But at this time Dario was at OpenAI and was a co-author on the GPT-2 research paper announcing the model.

The "too dangerous to release" approach has been him the whole time, at both companies.

You are literally correct, but not engaging in the point. Meta shares in Scale are explicitly non-voting shares. Influence/control post minority investment matters as to whether the deal can be reviewed via Clayton Act. Meta did everything they could to avoid regulatory review with this transaction, and it worked.

This post doesn't quite comprehend why Meta made a 49% investment instead of an acquisition.

The path Meta chose avoided global regulatory review. FTC, DOJ, etc and their international counterparts could have chosen to review and block an outright acquisition. They have no authority to review a minority investment.

Scale shareholders received a comparable financial outcome to an acquisition, and also avoided the regulatory uncertainty that comes with govt review.

It was win/win, and there's a chance for the residual Scale company to continue to build a successful business, further rewarding shareholders (of which Meta is now the largest), which is just like wildcard upside and was never the point of the original deal.

Socratic by Google still exists today and is a widely beloved app based on reviews. They had to rewrite the code and infrastructure, but "killing off the app" implies that they just shut things down. That never happened.

As for "happy story", I think the founders of Socratic learned a lot. Shreyans is just trying to share his learnings here. Not celebrate or mourn.

The deck plus the OEM dock with mouse, keyboard and monitor makes for a nice, cheap Linux desktop that you can grab-and-go to play games. The dock is really seamless, always works right away. If you're programming, I wouldn't recommend Deck without the dock.

Creation layer of the stack: Unity or Unreal.

CSS (like all written works) is copyrightable, so if there is clear evidence that the CSS was copy/pasted, CB Insights would have a case on that basis. Damages would be negligible, so it would not be a case worth pursuing.

Does this BS marketing PR stunt qualify Nature-published research papers for Gates Foundation-backed research now? Meaning: does this announcement qualify Nature as "open" enough for the Gates Foundation?
