FWIW, Facebook's AI division has made some pretty insane contributions to the field relative to Google or Apple. I wouldn't disregard the stuff they're doing, even if I personally don't have a stake in Facebook or Meta's success.
- alecco 4y agoIf things keep the current trend, Deepmind, Meta AI, and many other remarkable labs will be this generation's Xerox PARC. OpenAI and Stability-AI will be be Apple and Microsoft.
- vagabund 4y agoLike what? Basically every research breakthrough from industry has come through Google.
- smoldesu 4y agoFacebook was first to the punch on AI photo tagging and facial recognition in their systems, but they also did a lot of foundational research on GANs and self-supervised learning. Plus, they do a lot of other tangential research around language and life sciences that might not get funded otherwise. Some of it is marketing bullshit, but Facebook seems to have a genuine interest in pushing the field forward. Admittedly Google is also not the best example though, seeing as they're the Tensorflow maintainers :p
- KeplerBoy 4y agoStuff like PyTorch? They're building large parts of the infrastructure everyone uses.
