OpenAI’s GPT-2: the model, the hype, and the controversy

I think this is a better response than the article submitted here. There are ethical concerns and risk with these releases and it's probably a good idea to start considering them. What they did release seems reasonable in context.
I find the argument that making the technology as open as possible leading to people taking a skeptical look at things not very convincing. Recent election interference, disinformation campaigns, and the general inability for the public to disambiguate fact from fiction seems like decent evidence that just because people know something can be faked doesn't lead to critical thinking - confirmation bias is strong.
