Once upon a time there was a company called OpenAI that was going to do for AI what open source did for software. I think OpenAI changing their revenue model and corporate structure to better reflect how much money they were about to make really left a mark on the internet around trust in the AI space. The default is going to be to assume that AI companies like stability have sold out, to that end it would not surprise me if even this minor incident leads to a splitting and a new open model that becomes popular. I understand the point the author is trying to make. I understand what OpenAI is getting at with safety. I understand what the regulators are getting at. But it is too late. The genie is already out of the bottle and granting wishes. What are you going to ban at this point? Math education? It's time to accept that it's not that hard to come up with a few a100s and train models for harm if thats your goal. You can write code that harms people too. The answer is not to ban code. The answer is not to heavily regulate AI (not all countries will regulate it, it will be like banning gunpowder or electricity) As for this particular release - what is being implied they were going to wait for? Figuring out the model? Regulation? The internet to start acting calm and reasonably? We don't even know what these models fully do yet. It's hard to imagine what you could know in 6 months vs now that would allow you to release with a big thumbs up. More and more I'm realizing how politically controversial AI will become. Already today we're starting to see that on various axies. I think weirdly in a few years it may be a top issue.
