Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Meta’s Llama chatbot is the latest in a long line of AI-powered chatbots. The fact that it’s built on top of a Chinese model raises some eyebrows. “Built on top of” is just a nice way of saying “we tweaked someone else’s work”. The announcement sounds like a beta test, but with more users. And, of course, there are the usual promises about user privacy, because that’s always a top priority… until it’s not.
