The whole point of OpenAI is to prevent AGI from becoming open source so no.
- dragonwriter 3y agoNo, the point of OpenAI is to mitigate AI risk while promoting development of publicly beneficial AI. It initially took the view that actual openness was the best route for that. It later took the view that openness was more dangerous than having the most advanced progress behind the walls of a benevolent gatekeeper. The set of options it faces has changed, and its quite possible its view of the best option in the current context could change, again, because of that. (Also, who "OpenAI" is has changed over time, and changed rather radically recently, a process which almost certainly is not complete, which also can change decisions about the best way forward.)
