Having used and learned from the architectures that Facebook has published via OCP over the past decade, this is not a "meme" but actual real information and designs that Facebook uses to commoditize their supply chain and that others can use too.

- Quekid5 2y ago... but that's been a thing since ever using the "Open" moniker? I just feel "Open" is a mental shortcut that's being misused a bit. See, e.g. [0] for an example of Facebook (now: Meta) for admirable dissemination of knowledge.

- epistasis 2y agoI've not noticed a change in the amount of usage of "open" or any mental shortcuts about it since it was introduced via the term "open source" in the 1990s. If anything, there's less discussion and abuse of the term now. The only memery that I see is from OpenAI, which had aspirations to openness in the past but which today is a sham. Facebooks open efforts here are completely great, IMHO, and have benefited me personally and professionally.
