Maybe I’m not understanding the article correctly, but what was the lesson? That Facebook should have told people it would lie, similar to how OpenAI did?

I’m actually interested in what the internal lessons for Facebook would’ve been to see their product so replaced by a similar product only two weeks later, but unless I’m misunderstanding everything, the article doesn’t really seem to touch in it. At least not beyond the fact that people still want the model, and, that it’s part of llama and Facebooks new push for more open models.



They do state the lesson. It just isn't interesting:

> “The gap between the expectation, and where the research was, was too big.”

> Overall, Pineau said, “If I was to do it today, we would just manage the release.”
