This is the worrisome part of it all. It's no longer programmer sweat and toil that creates the value, but raw compute, which has a fixed capital cost that cannot be surmounted by skill or dedication. I don't see how, short of massive crowdfunding, open source can possibly release a state of the art LLM.

Hmm. Crowdfunding avenues exist. What is missing is trust ( also undermined by OpenAI ). I am trying to think who I would believe to have the knowledge, skill, PR skills ( or at least name recognition ) and ethics necessary to pull it off and I am drawing a blank. I am admittedly merely an interested party, but it does not bode well since the rest of the public knows or cares even less.
