I also don't see the point of such a provision. If an enemy military uses it, good luck taking them to court - if you are at war with a country, they probably won't be paying up any damages.
If your own countries military wants to use it, then the military can force you to hand the tech over if they really don't want to pay for it.
The term is perhaps of use for neutral-country militaries?
- lolinder 3y agoMy assumption is that like most of these "prohibited uses" it's there to cover Meta's liability for any of these use cases. It's not like someone who's going to use LLaMA 2 for criminal activity will be dissuaded by the ToS either, but it gives Meta a fig leaf to remove their own culpability for whatever ensues.
- dbcurtis 3y agoSounds to me like “LLaMa 2 classified as a munition and subject to ITAR” is what is going on.
