If it was just hearing opinion we wouldn't have any problem. Nobody pays that kind of money for just being heard. This is about shaping the future in a way that they think is best (which is usually best for them, not much for the rest of us)

I find it naive to believe that the purpose of a for profit organization is anything but making profit.
Meta move here is not altruistic, it's a simple "commodify your compliment" play.

Of course they want money and of course they think this "open" approach will lead to more money. That doesn't change the fact that as an individual right now my opinions on regulating AI are more aligned with Meta's philosophy than Google and OpenAI. Both of which are equally doing this for their own profit.
