Now, I keep getting stuck on this.
All of these models automate the creation of BS -- that is, stuff that kind of seems like it could be real but isn't.
I have no doubt there is significant economic value in this. But the world was awash in BS before these LLMs so we're really talking about a more cost effective way to saturate the sponge.
Anyway, on the main topic... closing models is an absurd idea, and one that cannot possibly work. I think the people who have billions at stake in these models are panicking, realizing the precarious and temporary nature of their lead in LLMs and are desperately trying to protect it. All that money bought them a technological lead that is evaporating a lot faster than they can figure out how to build a business model on it.
...Nvidia should pump a little bit of their windfall profits into counter lobbying since they have the most to gain/lose from open/closed models.
