- trwaw 3y agoOpen Ai is a cash grab that's shitting on everything the open source movement used to stand for. They have single handedly done more damage to the open source ecosystem in 4 years than Microsoft did in 40.
- samvher 3y agoCan you say more? It sounds like you're referring to more than just the contamination of the word "open".
- trwaw 3y agoThey are trying to make training weights of models into munitions, like encryption was in the 80s. That is worse for open source development of models than anything anyone else has done including Amazon. The best thing that can happen is that Altman et al are hit by a bus on the way to their next meeting with a head of state trying to legislate them being the only responsible censor and natural monopolist for Ai.

- dragonwriter 3y ago> You don't think it's a little uncalled for to wish physical harm and/or death on someone just because you disagree with their actions? Kind of depends what the actions are: “Leaving your turn signal on after you have completed a lane change maneuver” and “carrying out a genocide” are both actions one might disagree with.

- blibble 3y agolooks who's funding OpenAI
- stonogo 3y agoIrrelevant. The non-profit is controlled by the same people, and only existed to class their massive startup capital as 'donations.'
- mkii 3y agoDo you have any source to this? If this were the motive, why would more VCs not require their corporates to be formed as non-profits?
- JamesBarney 3y agoBut the people who donated that money to the non-profit can't receive any profits? And the expected tax benefits of donating a dollar are always less than a dollar, so that doesn't make any sense.
