The world needs more truly open source AI models where the success and outcomes do not depend on a single figurehead or a corporation.

Who grey-texted this comment? So confused who could disagree with it. Is that the problem, this comment is so obviously true, it's just redundant?

The problem is that you cannot finance the training of a competitive AI model and then turn around and give it all away for free.

Who's supposed to pay for that?

Open and paid are not mutually exclusive. Someone is paying for Linux kernel development as well.

>>konsch+W3
Universities usually do that, they work on open problems and publish their findings for free.

>>miohta+(OP)
The truth or falsity of this statement turns entirely on whether more AI is good or not. You are in agreement with doomers that single figureheads are a weakpoint. That's the point. The disagreement is on whether having massive uncontrollable power widely dispersed is beneficial.

Good lord, is this the 'hacker' mindset now?

Since there is enough private investment available, why spend public money?
