Meta is really clearly trying to differentiate themselves from OpenAI here. Open source + driving home "we don't use data we haven't paid for / don't own".

Wonder how far off the whole "generate music based on your existing music library" thing is going to be? That'll make musicians happy with big tech as well, just like artists are. *sigh*

Why not do generate music you like which wouldn’t need you to upload your library and would have RLHF baked in.

The Record labels are far, far more litigious than the art community.

Bully "Open"AI into rebranding.

Commoditize Your Complement? https://gwern.net/complement

What is it a complement to though?

Meta has several of the biggest UGC platforms, and in this case the complement is content itself. Reels with autogenerated (and royalty free) background music is the obvious example but I'm sure there are more. Maybe creative for ads as well?
