Mark Zuckerberg is no longer the kingmaker that he was during Facebook's peak, and he is desperately trying to create the next platform to be the one in power once again.

It would be sad if it wasn't so unbelievably destructive to everything it touches.

Curious to see how they can turn moltbook into a money maker. Do they sell ads to agents?
Wasn't it primarily acqui-hire? Meta's AI strategy is what exactly? The best time for them to release a Chat GPT clone was 2 years ago. The second best time is today.
They have a ChatGPT clone app already, but it's not very good.

I tried asking it some technical questions that Gemini can handle just fine, and it quickly started giving false information and contradictions.

My guess is data collection. Maybe the data can be used to improve or train agents.
Llama should be mentioned in the same conversations that ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek dominate. If only it wasn’t so inaccessible…
They have an app for it. I think it's as accessible as any of the other models you mentioned. It's just not as good.
Not so good right now but they haven't released one in a while. Llama 3.1 was pretty great when it came out.
Yeah strategy is weird. PyTorch and llama 1-3 were strong successes. Llama 4 was a dud but that happens sometimes. Google fumbles a few times before Gemini too. What I don’t get is why they didn’t prioritize those projects. They weren’t making money, but it was a solid start and a good way to get a foothold in the game. Instead they’ve gone balls deep in slop bullshit.
