Good point. I wish OpenAI released more of their work as open source. I wish people building on top of them did too. That said, I usually won't begrudge a small-time developer or entrepreneur from choosing whatever licensing model they think is going to make them the most money. An army of small-time entrepreneurs who build closed source can still have democratizing effects on a market that's been captured by a few large companies. I'm more frustrated when I see big, entrenched companies finding ways to capture value from the open source ecosystem and privatize it. My view on v1s, prototypes and PoCs regardless of their licensing is that by design they're going to be a mess and have errors, if they don't you waited too long to ship. Maybe these folks should have been a little more honest in their marketing but man if we're going to get into a list of the offenders on that front I think they are way way down on that list. Overall in my view LLMs are the most disruptive thing to come along since the Web itself. Business model's like Google's are facing a direct challenge from this technology. Why do I want to look at Google's first page full of shitty search ads when I can use a LLM to get an answer immediately? As far as I'm concerned at this stage I would love to see a billion projects from every corner of the world built on top of this technology. Whether they're great or they're crap, the avalanche is the first real opportunity in many years to disrupt some giants.
