Podcast Lesson
"Stay non-dogmatic about commitments when technology is unpredictable On whether Meta would always open-source its AI models, Zuckerberg deliberately avoided a blanket promise: "I haven't committed that we're going to like release every single thing that we do... if at some point there's some qualitative change in what the thing is capable of and we feel like it's just not responsible to open source it then we won't." He applied this same logic to AI safety decisions and product roadmaps: "you want to kind of look at like each release." Locking yourself into a categorical policy before you can see the full range of outcomes trades away your most valuable asset — the ability to respond to reality as it emerges.
