That can actually make competition from open source harder. New upstarts that are open source can't compete with free service from OpenAI and can't make money to grow their development or offerings.
OpenAI wants to kill everything that isn't OpenAI.
- ben_w 2y agoNew open source models* still wouldn't be able to compete even if OpenAI was forcibly shut down. Hardware's too expensive, and will be for a while, because all the big players are trying to get in on it. * cue arguments: "'open weights' or training data'?"; "does the Meta offering count or are they being sneaky and evil?"; etc.
- spencerchubb 2y agoSo should OpenAI make their product less accessible, in order to make it easier for competition? That makes no sense
- oblio 2y agoI call chicken. Let them make all their products paid. Hint: they won't, it would kill their company. The hype around OpenAI is based on people using it for free, at least at the start. Heck, even drug dealers know this trick!
