Is Mark Zuckerberg flip flopping on open source AI?

In a recent memo, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, outlined his vision to build "superintelligence" AI, hinting that the pursuit of more powerful AI might require the company to be more selective in what it open sources. Citing "safety concerns," Zuckerberg said Meta would need to be "rigorous" about such decisions, which contrasts with his previous statements emphasizing the importance of open-source AI. During Meta's earnings call, Zuckerberg acknowledged a potential shift in their approach, noting that as models become larger and more powerful, it may not be practical or beneficial to open-source everything. He also expressed concerns about the safety implications of "real superintelligence," suggesting that Meta may be more cautious in its open-source strategy going forward. This shift in Zuckerberg's stance on open-source AI is notable, as he had previously argued that open-source is crucial for both Meta and developers, and that it would be safer than the alternatives. However, he maintained that Meta would continue to open-source some of its work, though the company's "superintelligence" may be less open in the future.
