with the exception of maybe llama, each of these releases represented not only solid, accessible implementations, but actually also a paradigm shift and a massive investment. then they gave each away for free, and continued to invest in them for years. _you_ might not need any of these, but the internet as we know it today certainly is built on the shoulders of each of them, and in some cases, continues to use them directly.

I mean, if people working on PyTorch, GraphQL and React are "wasting their talent", then bloody hell that is a high bar.

This is what I disagree with. Specifically, I don't disagree that Meta has caused serious harm. I just don't think we live in such a black and white world "where if the whole company vanished, the world would be purely a better place".
