Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Security Policy at Meta said this

"We have decided not to make Llama 2 available for defense use, as we believe that the risks of misuse outweigh the benefits. We are committed to ensuring that our technology is used in a responsible and ethical manner, and we believe that this decision is in line with that commitment."

I saw this tweet from someone at the DoD discussing how stupid it was that the USA governement cannot use Llama2 technology but the CCP can. I searched up the use policy and it seems correct. What do you all think??

Llama2 is... not amazing. It's good for small things and it's great that you can do those small things locally. But this honestly feels like an attempt at publicity. "It's so good, DoD shouldn't use it!"

Is there a different link that shows they are prohibiting all use by the Department of Defense? The linked page is their acceptable use policy. From that policy it appears it is fine for the Department of Defense to utilize it, as long as it is not for one of the prohibited reasons.
