How exactly did OpenAI become evil?
It was silly to think that with Microsoft's investment that they wouldn't benefit directly from ChatGPT. What I find interesting is that Microsoft, with Copilot, has made by far the most accessible iteration of LLMs and have yes incorporated it into their products but without a paywall - no account necessary, just use Bing for example. Given that the vast majority of people still use a Microsoft platform for actual computing I'm thrilled with the way they've adopted this tech, as it will truly bring AI to the masses in a way that really only Microsoft can. Integration with Microsoft Word for example - that just changes things. I have generated images in MS Paint, so far for no cost - that's huge. Regular people, with no expertise can do that - that is the entire point of this revolution.
Additionally, this NYT lawsuit was always going to happen - we kinda need a Microsoft behind a huge, publicly accessible, LLM to combat any attempts to shut this down.
How many models would survive an NYT lawsuit?
- blagie 3y ago* Virtually nothing is open. The "Open" in OpenAI is dead. * It split from a non-profit into a non-profit/for-profit hybrid * Most people are at the for-profit and appear to see it as a normal startup get-rich-quick scheme I don't see anything you're writing as being wrong is e.g. I saw a startup doing it. However, OpenAI was founded precisely so that where AI goes isn't driven by startup market incentives. We do need an organization like that, very badly. OpenAI sucked up the air to where others weren't started, and it's perhaps too late.
