All their actions seem to arise out of arrogance and misplaced belief that no one can replicate their work. Even before DALL-E, with GPT etc the sheer arrogance that led them to think that they could decide how their tools can be used, who can use them and for what propose was revolting. Frankly it spoiled the whole ML/DL revolution for me which till that point of time was a little more open than other fields. True that companies like Google don't let you use their models like Alpha* freely or even open source them but they aren't dangling access like these pricks who called themselves open were doing. I hope they will become irrelevant in the coming years.
