They need random misinformation data and people raging about stupid shit? How the heck is meta, with preexisting information, gonna help em find new undiscovered things..

If only you had read the article, you would know the answer to this question.

Meh...it involves Facebook, or meta or whatever the hell they call themselves. I frankly don't care and assume it's all smoke and mirrors to deceive.

I never told you that Meta was a good thing. I think they're a terrible thing, their AI development included. I was just telling you that there's a specific answer for how Meta could possibly be doing something here that would work, that is contained in the article, and you're substituting your prejudice and assumptions about the situation for knowledge, and angrily asking questions which have specific and interesting answers which you could have found out. By reading the article.

I'll do a quick multiple choice. Your guessing that they're somehow harvesting posts from Facebook, and trying to turn them into materials science knowledge, is:

  1. Exactly what they're doing
  2. Not what they're doing

You fill in the answer.
