Meta has become a creepy metaphor for facebook: briefly the new cool kid on the block, but now awkwardly shows up at high school parties with their letter jacket on, talking about the time they almost made it to State.
- i_like_apis 4y agoYou are way off. Meta is easily among the top few AI research institutions in the world.
- belval 4y agoThat's a harsh take. FAIR (the Facebook AI research group) is a respected group in the field and they put out high quality research on a variety of topics. This would be like condemning research for AT&T/Bell Labs because the company was (even at the time) a terrible monopolistic corporation.
- tradecraft 4y agoThis meta metaphor on Meta is itself a creepy metaphor
- zip1234 4y agoSeems like this is a meaningful contribution to society. As are things like React and Pytorch.
- JackFr 4y agoWell, PyTorch.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoReact gives me 'nam flashbacks and I haven't even worked with a proper code base yet.
