Meta doesn't interact with its users in very obvious ways which MS, Google do. All its models magic happen behind the scenes. Meta can continue to release 2nd best models to undercut others and them going far too ahead. And Open Source community will take it from there. Dall-E is dead.

And if all open source extends their models, they can accrue those benefits back to themselves. This is already how they’ve become such a huge player in machine learning (open sourcing amazing stuff).

I think Dall-E isn't actually dead, but was merely renamed Bing Image Creator.
