“Wonderful for the world” = “I can exploit this to make money”
3 comments

Exploit? I don’t know if this is the right perspective. It’s literally released for commercial use.

But also, nothing wrong with making money by building valuable new things.

To exploit means to use.

> “Wonderful for the world” = “I can [use] this to make money”

Doesn't change the meaning (or the bite) of the statement in the slightest.

Most financial transactions happen because the thing that is being bought improves the life of the buyer.
Would you say you are exploiting your employer by taking a salary?
What's your point, and what does Meta releasing an LLM that people can use have to do with employers and salaries?
