This seems an important article, if for no other reason than it brings the betrayal of its foundational claim still brazenly present in OpenAI's name from the obscurity of HN comments going back years into the public light and the mainstream.

They've achieved marvellous things, OpenAI, but the pivot and long-standing refusal to deal with it honestly leaves an unpleasant taste, and doesn't bode well for the future, especially considering the enormous ethical implications of advantage in the field they are leading.

To quote Spaceballs, they're not doing it for money, they're doing it for a shitload of money.

OpenAI, if successful, will likely become the most valuable company in the history of the planet, both past and future.

Eh.

I think that keeping it permanently closed source when it has such amazing potential for changing society is unethical bordering on evil.

However,

I think the technology and the datasets will trickle out, perhaps a few years behind, and in time we will have truly open "AI" algos on our home computers/phones.

So, you reckon they're effectively operating like Google then?
