- yewenjie 5y agoNot exactly open in many other ways too.
- sendtown_expwy 5y agoWhat, you want people to host services for you for free?
- minimaxir 5y agoThe OpenAI API/GPT-3 is still invite-only.
- distribot 5y agoIs there any timeline on the horizon for normies who don't know anyone important can get a token?
- worble 5y agoAs far as I'm aware, there is no intention to ever open it up. You're better off waiting for GPT-NeoX.
- distribot 5y agoNot even for people to pay for using it?
- MaxLeiter 5y agoI got the beta and didn’t do anything special, just applied relatively early. I’d just be patient, their community Slack is constantly growing.
- akarma 5y agoI was going to say "for a nonprofit all about making AI more open, maybe!" but then... https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/openai-shifts-from-nonprofit-to-capped-profit-to-attract-capital/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/openai-shifts-from-nonprof...

- jfoster 5y agoI think the point is, what exactly is "open" about OpenAI? Can you download their trained model? Can you even access their API without risk of your access getting cut off? What is open about it?
- visarga 5y agoThey are open to get nice PR at any opportunity, like DeepMind.
- throwkeep 5y agoThey're about as open as Google is not evil.
- yaronhadad 5y ago+1.
- woah 5y agoOh no yea they have to keep it closed to keep terrorists from generating illicit mad-libs with their AGI
- throwkeep 5y agoThey are highly paternal and even evangelical about it, with very sensitive warnings about how the output is "harmful" and we'll make it "safe". Avert your eyes children! We will protect you and ensure textual purity in accordance with the church. George Carlin is rolling in his grave.
- tlb 5y agoPeople frequently cause harm by using language. Being cautious about something that could potentially generate orders of magnitude more targeted harmful language seems reasonable. In general, when people working full-time on a technology think it's dangerous and you don't see why, it's best to assume that they've spent a lot more time thinking of ways it could go wrong than you.
- throwkeep 5y agoThat's like deferring to people who work in the tobacco industry about what's dangerous or not with cigarettes. Also, many of them are still under the impression they're making the world a better place at Facebook and Twitter. So no, let's not pretend technologists know what's best. And they don't understand language and society better than, say, George Carlin. They only think they do.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> That's like deferring to people who work in the tobacco industry about what's dangerous or not with cigarettes It's not a symmetric bias. If someone selling you tobacco or ad spam tells you it's safe, one could reasonably be skeptical. If that same person voices specific concerns, it's more notable for coming from them.
