It’s important to recognize the definition of “open” that sama and team embrace versus the definition of open source and “free as in beer.” The early team gathered around the idea of achieving lift (as in marketing lift) of the idea of sharing research results and building upon open source. They do that really well, relative to MS Research and Deepmind. OpenAI was never going to focus primarily on open source or “free as in beer”—- their goal was to market themselves such to draw attention away from that. Well, I’m sure some of the team wanted that, but I’m also sure sama was more than willing to embrace his own definition of success versus that if the dev community. ClosedAI is a bit harsh, but they have definitely both divided the community somewhat on the definition of “Open” and been very comfortable with focusing on their toys and ignoring the conversation. I mean sama, especially when it comes to Worldcoin, has been very direct about ignoring criticism in general.
