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." https://about.fb.com/news/2021/12/metas-adversarial-threat-r...
Ah yes…
“Companies over countries,” he told me once, as we discussed a blog post about Facebook’s goals. “If you want to change the world, the best thing to do is to build a company,” he added.
So he is being consistent (perhaps foolishly).
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??

While llama is probably not useful in any meaningful way to the DoD, it's nice to see Meta take a stand.
Since that's the only reference to "military" I can find. Regardless, if we assume that the US Dept of State does not list the US military on its prohibited list, this would not be an issue.
Even if they do "prohibit" this elsewhere, it would not in fact prevent the US military from using it if they were able to say (to the satisfaction of a US judge) that they had a compelling national security reason to do so.
And if all of that failed, and for some reason the US military wanted to use Llama2, they would just do it anyway, and neither FB nor the judiciary would stop them.
Now, whether or not it would be a good idea for the US DoD to use Llama2, is a different question.
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.
