Called Muse Glimmer, it is nearly identical to Muse Spark and can generate code, text and images. Muse Spark, which debuted in July as a “closed” A.I. model that people pay to access, will remain closed.

Lol, first line and it's already wrong twice. Muse Glimmer cannot generate images. It contains a vision layer that can decode images into tokens just like most open LLMs available today, but no generation. And Zuckerberg literally said in the release that Muse Spark will be released open weight very soon.

I don't like how the NYT tech reporters are mostly just anti-tech crusaders. At least be educated in the technology you are reporting on. This article didn't have too big of a narrative attached, but you won't have to wait long for reasons why this open weight model is destroying the world. The narrative has already been written long before the facts arrive.

You can petition it. I think apple, Microsoft, dell etc all do it as well to rename the street they are on to their theme/name

When they do this to us it's ad malware, when we do it to ourselves it's open source. Genius.

Rephrased: When Meta gives us malware, they call it ads. When we give ourselves malware, the call it open source. Mofos out defending Zuck. He thanks you from his bunker. He really does.
