Since Altman is on their board, its moreso other companies that aren't OpenAI that would be effected? OpenAI got what it needed; has their own straw in the milkshake, make it more expensive for anyone else.
Purely conjecture obviously, but him being on both sides of that, not hard to see how all this becomes more favorable to his company making the moat wider for others.
- kuchenbecker 3y agoOpenAI is both asking to raise the barrier to entry of LLMs and closing off the data sources that made them successful.
- ThunderBee 3y agoSam is on record, and has even given lectures, stating the key to business success is monopolization. It seems rather obvious under his perspective to do everything possible to restrict access to all information that could be used to train an LLM. I understand Sam’s history with ycombinator gives him leniency around here but we seriously need to wake up to the fact that he’s attempting to monopolize the most powerful tool ever created. He talks a good game but if you pay attention to his actions it’s clear he is openly hostile towards the common good which he supposedly promotes. I see him in the same regard as I see any oligarch vying for public favor by ‘stealing’ billions, donating a few million, and riding off into the sunset being praised by media for how much of the ill gotten gains he’s given back.
