capitalism ruins everything.

imagine speed of improvement in AI if everything was open sourced, instead of guarding their little secrets.

i hope google get f**, hoarding AI knowledge for years, only got shaken after recent events force them.

Do you know of any open source projects with the approximately $5 million it takes to train GPT3? Do you think the AI scientists who invented the underlying techniques would do so without being paid? No, Google and others paid for these people's work. Even if OpenAI was open source and still a non-profit, its funding would come from the profit generated by corporations and the wealth of individuals who became rich through capitalism. How do you think Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk were in a position to found OpenAI in the first place? For good or for bad, capitalism is the reason this stuff exists.

Wage theft, embezzlement of public funds, socially destructive practices, immoral and downright dangerous behaviors, lies and being children of already wealthy and well connected individuals ?

Capitalism didn't give you OpenAI. Money and talented people working on it gave you OpenAI (hint: none of the people you listed did any work). Whether it comes from sociopath n°2354 as closed source, or a well funded public institution as open research (which, you know, we could have funded if the previously listed sociopaths paid taxes and contributed to society), people being paid did the work.

You should probably be little careful about accusing named individuals of embezzlement.
