Maybe this is an intentional leak to damage OpenAI.
A supposedly better model by some accounts that strikes right at the heart of their business plan of selling access for $250k/year. One month of access to their service could buy a machine capable of running this leaked model.
Facebook nerfs a potential upstart competitor to keep current big-tech cartel stable.
Maybe this is a bit conspiratorial, but we live in the age big-tech and big-conspiracy.
- sebzim4500 4y agoIMO it's way more likely that some random guy on 4chan leaked it than it being some vast conspiracy.
- tinyspacewizard 4y agoNot a conspiracy at all. See also IE, Android, Kubernetes...
- slig 4y agoI missed the one about K8S, do you have any resources?
- GuB-42 4y agoI am not aware of Android and Kubernetes being leaks, they were open source from the start. For Android, openness was a big marketing point. I am not aware of IE leaks, and if there were leaks, hackers searching for exploits would be probably be the most interested, and that would be a bad thing for Microsoft. The problem with leaks is that they don't come with a license, you don't have the right to use them for any legitimate purpose. No one who could afford a 250k/year license would touch that leak as it could get them in big trouble.
- ok123456 4y agoAny links about IE, Android and Kubernetes? I'm not up on these being ops.
- sebzim4500 4y agoHe's not saying they are leaks, he's saying that they are examples of a large company releasing a product for free to crush the competition. I don't necessarily agree with him, especially about Kubernetes.
- tinyspacewizard 4y agoKubernetes is a tool that makes portability between clouds easier - and it was released by a challenger brand in cloud.
- tmalsburg2 4y agoWhy leak it instead of just publishing it along with a press release about openness and democratizing AI and so on?

- ok123456 4y agobecause then you don't need to explain to shareholders why you're giving away something that could potentially be worth a few hundred million dollars.
- tmalsburg2 4y ago"Potentially" is doing a lot of work here. I'd say that the trained model is worth approximately as much as the electricity that was required to train it.
