LeCun reveals Meta leadership (Zuckerberg, Boz) always supported JEPA/World Models as a long-term bet, but Meta's AI strategy became more LLM-focused and short-term. Notes many JEPA/WM applications are in industrial domains Meta isn't interested in.

@aakashgupta Right. Except that Mark Z, @boztank and others in the leadership were always supportive of the JEPA / World Models project as a long-term bet. But the AI strategy of company became more LLM-pilled and short-term focused. And many of the applications of JEPA/WM are in industrial domains that Meta is not particularly interested in.

Clement Delangue warns about renewed lobbying in DC and state legislatures to ban or severely restrict open-source AI, calls on builders to speak up for open-source.

I’m hearing there’s renewed lobbying in DC and in state legislatures to ban or severely restrict open-source. Like a few years ago, we’ll need everyone to help show policymakers why open-source matters: for startups, for competition, for economic growth, and for jobs. If you build with open-source, now is the time to speak up!
