Stability AI buried the lede a little: open models specifically reduce the negative effects of mass structural unemployment. Public scrutiny is good, but not cutting the public out of the entire economy is better.
The US government should be giving Stability (and other open AI companies) research grants conditioned upon public model weight releases.
