Fair. But there's a difference between "openly accessible scientific information" and "trade secrets".
The US military has pushed state of the art in many fields, but I don't think anyone would say it pushed stealth composite science forward with the B-2/F-22/F-35 programs, because all the details are classified.
The risk is that non-shared research is eventually lost.
- taeric 3y agoAlso mostly fair. I think the catch is Open AI is risking turning "open" into a weasel word? That is, still science, but hardly open. Which is fine, but then don't call yourself open?
- JohnFen 3y agoAs near as I can tell, there's nothing really "open" about OpenAI. I think that they include that word in their name is about marketing, and really does help to make the word meaningless.
- dragonwriter 3y agoOpenAI originally was a nonprofit nominally focussed on AI that was actually open, then they branched off a for-profit subsidiary with heavy involvement with Microsoft, came up with “safety” as an excuse to abandon openness, and created the “Open”AI of today.
