the name OpenAI itself reminds me every day of this.
- genevra 2y agoI knew their vision of open source AI wouldn't last but it surprised me how fast it was.
- baq 2y agoThat vision, if it was ever there, died before ChatGPT was released. It was just a hiring scheme to attract researchers. pg calls sama ‘naughty’. I call him ‘dangerous’.
- olalonde 2y agoI'm still finding it difficult to understand how their move away from the non-profit mission was legal. Initially, you assert that you are a mission-driven non-profit, a claim that attracts talent, capital, press, partners, and users. Then, you make a complete turnaround and transform into a for-profit enterprise. Why this isn't considered fraud is beyond me.
- smt88 2y agoMy understanding is that there were two corporate entities, one of which was always for-profit.
- w0m 2y agoIt was impractical from the start; they had to pivot before a they were able to get an LLM proper out (before ~anyone had heard of them)
- deadbabe 2y agoIt’s “Open” as in “open Pandora’s box”, not “open source”. Always has been.
