Exclusive: Meta just released Llama 3.1 405B — the first-ever open-sourced frontier AI model, beating top closed models like GPT-4o across several benchmarks.
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) July 23, 2024
I sat down with Mark Zuckerberg, diving into why this marks a major moment in AI history.

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

He gave an interesting talk where he says each new tech is either won by closed or open model. Pc was open smart phone were closed. He's betting on AI open model winning.

Never mind that, what the heck happened to him in general? Is he going through a belated rebellious teen phase? Because I thought his previous haircut was awful, but this fuzzy curl thing does nothing for him either.
Mid life crisis? Will we be hearing stories of him buying sports cars and dating hot chicks (if his wife doesn't murder him first)?

Tbf, the whole "lol, Twitter won, Facebook lost" arguement, while still very true (especially when it comes to Twitter being used more as a promotional outlet for businesses/agencies/creatives/etc, instead of Facebook still being thought of as a personal/casual site)...does kind of forgor that Instagram is still a thing - and, in many ways, would be more apt as Zucc's "Twitter-equivalent" in comparison to Threads lol
But what doth I know? I am a speck in this giant Silicon Valley (and soon to be Silicon Valley vs Texas) peepee-swinging contest lol

Is Facebook itself still popular? I stay far away from social media (
)so i legit dont know, but i dont remember the last time anyone mentioned it in real life. It seems completely usurped by Instagram (same company sure, but i mean the actual website). Ive seen facebook mostly mentioned on here for the last several years, because of boomer drama and local neighborhood group sneed. So i guess its popular with GenX?

Facebook is still wildly popular amongst the elderly and specially in 3rd world countries, because facebook has language support for almost every imaginable language that is used in the world, plus you have marketplace (a service that's centralized unlike the many dozen offshoots in various countries), and a way to create groups, either be public or private (the /h/peakpoors originated from a facebook group)

You realize this is purely self interest right?
Zuckerberg makes billions on the current ad paradigm. The last thing he wants is a closed source model potentially with regulatory capture disrupting the economy. By releasing a cutting edge open source model he's scorching the earth and making sure that can never happen.

It's not "open source" in any meaningful way. Where's the training data? Can you use it without agreeing to FB's ToS?
It's available to self-host, that's better than nothing, but let's not all trip over ourselves to zuck him off.
