We're under no such misapprehension and we're keenly aware that this is an uphill battle. The issue is that LLMs have become part of the infrastructure of the Internet. Companies that build infrastructure have a responsibility to society, and we're documenting how OpenAI is reneging on that responsibility. Hindering research is especially problematic if you take them at their word that they're building AGI. If infrastructure companies don't do the right thing, they eventually get regulated (and if you think that will never happen, I have one word: AT&T). Finally, even if you don't care about research at all, the article mentions OpenAI's policy that none of their models going forward will be stable for more than 3 months, and it's going to be interesting to use them in production if things are going to keep breaking regularly.
