The so-called "open" in their name is an oxymoron. The whole thing is a trap. We need to work on our own, possibly publicly founded but really open solutions rather than depend on proprietary ones.
- naillo 4y agoWe really gotta come up with another thing to repeat as the go-to diss than this. I'm all for putting pressure on them to release weights etc but they are a lot more open than e.g. google or meta, and the whole "ClosedAI" is so over-repeated at this point.
- TigeriusKirk 4y agoThey brought it on themselves. They chose the name OpenAI. It was a terrible choice on their part, and the repeated criticism is a direct result of that choice.
- person3 4y agoI definitely agree, "open" in the name is pretty annoying and wrong. I'm a bit torn though - I tend to think GPT-3 is approaching a level where ML is becoming dangerous. Spam bots + GPT-3 is not my idea of a fun time. So the restrictions they put on usage do seem important. Regardless of that moral question, I don't think a fully open model on the level of GPT-3 is even possible. Given the required cost to train and the expertise involved, big tech will always be a few years ahead. And it's unlikely they would give it away with how much they invest in creating it. Unless capitalism suddenly ends, I don't see any of the major tech companies parting with state of the art ML.
- naniwaduni 4y agoIt's not an oxymoron, it's just a lie.
- rvz 4y agoIt is a known scam executed by the VCs. Thankfully we have free alternatives to GPT-3 (BLOOM [0]) and DALL-E 2 (Stable Diffusion [1]) [0] https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom [1] https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/releases/tag/v0.2.3 https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/releases/tag/v0.2.3
