So he still doesn't accept his own responsibility? He may think that Google acted responsibly, but he published his research for others to replicate, paving the way for OpenAI and consorts. Why did he publish it? Vainglory. He didn't even need it for his career. And no, the model is not something somebody else would have come up with 6 months later.
The comparison to Oppenheimer at the end is so trite. First, it's a pop meme, not a serious comparison. Second, Oppenheimer did his work with a bloody World War raging. Third, Oppenheimer didn't publish the secrets of the Manhattan project.
Too little, too late. He, and others with him, should be ashamed of their lack of ethics.
PS I suppose the down-voting shows that a few are too entrenched.

- tgv 4y agoJudging by the other comments, that's not the reason. Is it your conviction that the research of the Manhattan project should have been shared with the world?
