{"title":"Does Mark Zuckerberg really believe AI is 'for everyone'? | Equity Podcast","description":"Meta released Glimmer this week, an open-weight AI model anyone can download and run on their own hardware \u2014 a contrast to Muse Spark, the company\u2019s more powerful model that stays locked behind its own APIs. The release landed alongside a letter from Mark Zuckerberg arguing AI should be \u201cfor everyone\u201d rather than controlled by a handful of labs, but as Equity\u2019s hosts point out, the vision comes with some asterisks. \n\nOn this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Rebecca Bellan take a look at Glimmer, Zuckerberg\u2019s 6,500-word manifesto, and more of the week\u2019s headlines, from the true cost of the AI industry\u2019s energy needs to a $250M acquisition gone very wrong. \n\nSubscribe to Equity on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
