"b) this AI thing is huge."

Yeah, there are tons of opportunities for AI to do something with facebooks private user data and sell new services. For users to create engagement - and for ad companies to get very good targeted ads delivered. It is of course a challenge, to update the models on the fly, to include the latest private data, but then you can tailor an ad, that has subtil references to the latest shared wishes of the user. Probably quite effective.

So for now they mainly need top talent, to make some of it work. And open source is the best bet, for creating a ecosystem they can control and get talents who already trained on their tools. And they loose allmost nothing, because yes, they ain't in the cloud buisness.

So I will continue to not use facebook. But the models I will try.
