> I actually think this is one of the rare times where the small guys interests are aligned with Meta
Small guys are the ones being screwed over by AI companies and having their text/art/code stolen without any attribution or adherence to license. I don’t think Meta is on their side at all
That's a separate problem which affects small to large players alike (e.g. ScarJo).
Small companies interests are aligned with Meta as they are now on an equal footing with large incumbent players. They can now compete with a similarly sized team at a big tech company instead of that team + dozens of AI scientists
