The community needs to train its own models, but I don't see any of that happening. Having the source text would be a huge advantage for research and education, but it feels totally out of reach.
It's funny how people are happy to donate to OpenAI, that immediately close up at the first sniff of cash, but there doesn't seem to be any donations toward open and public development, which is the only way to guarantee availability of the results, sadly.
I should add: Mistral, Meta, etc don't release open source models, all we get is the 'binary'.
- Nevermark 3y agoThose initial OpenAI donations really were for open development. The problem was, there was no formal legal restrictions put in place at the start that stopped them from hatching a private subsidiary or not remaining open. Just that the initial organization was non-profit and for AI safety. Which is the only way that could have been stopped. A failure of initial oversight. A lack of “alignment” one might say.

The problem is, no one expects a CEO to do these things, and when the gusher of money erupts there's nothing that can be done, as we saw. You cover one base, they sneak to another. Legal strictures are unlikely to contain them. Money is all conquering.
