A headstart doesn't matter unless you can keep it. The point is that there are many mort smart people and resources outside of OpenAI and there are inside of OpenAI. If they focus their efforts, they will easily catch up.
A headstart is not a competitive moat like network effects are. Go and try to raise money for your startup from a VC and tell them "well, everyone is doing the same as us, but we started 6 months earlier!!" - nobody cares.

- Matl 4y agoI dunno, maybe the Open part of OpenAI should hint at it. The problem people are having is that OpenAI marketed themselves as supposedly democratizing AI, but it does the opposite.
- pixl97 4y agoIt turns out most individuals will give up democracy if they think they have a shot at becoming king.
