Straw man, no where did I say that I am against the release of this paper. All I said that was that I don't understand how Google benefits, and I selfishly claimed that more of us could benefit if they created a product. The paper by itself is clearly a gift. I think ultimately it hurts Google to showcase research without product development -- and I also believe the trained model is squandered. If they aren't going to productize it, then they should leak or open source it in a LLaMA fashion. Why the waste? If this was truly a beneficent act somehow despite the weights being locked up in their cloud, where is the carbon footprint data for the training? StabilityAI reports such information for their model releases.
