It's a bit cynical; my point is that it's the kind of decision you get to make when you're the sole owner of $100 million and not the kind you get to make when you're a startup company founder working with other investors' money.
OpenAI wouldn't have been able to do what StabilityAI did because OpenAI is incentivized to make return on investment; Mohammad Emad Mostaque is not.
- igorkraw 4y agoI agree but:You know openai is ostensibly a nonprofit and only created a "limited profit partnership" once they thought they could make big bucks? I've been saying the nonprofit part is a grift to get idealistic people work there for years, but technically they had exactly the right incentive structure
- knighthack 4y agoI found their sudden non-profit to profit trajectory extremely dishonest. Their mission statement also reads like moralistic verbiage, rather than the statement of disinterested pioneers of AI - which is problematic given how this has become a money thing for OpenAI, rather than an idealistic pursuit.
