Exactly. They piggybacked of lots of compute and used less. There still is a total sum of a massive amount of compute

- da_chicken 2y agoI mean, yes that's how progress works. Has OpenAI got a patent? If not it's fair game. We don't make people figure out how to domesticate a cow every time they want a hamburger. Or test hundreds of thousands of filaments before they can have a lightbulb. Inventions, once invented, exist as giants to stand upon. The inventor can either choose to disclose the invention and earn a patent for exclusive rights, or they can try to keep it a secret and hope nobody reverse engineers it.

- fmbb 2y agoThat’s a lot of watt hours!
- PeterStuer 2y agoAnd lets not forget a gazillion hours of human reinforcement by armies of 3rd world mechanical turks.
- bitfilped 2y agoExcept OpenAI hasn't shared anything.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoSure. This is fine. Data is still a product, no matter how much businesses would like to turn it into a service. The model already embodies the "total sum of a massive amount of compute" used to create it; if it's possible to reuse that embodied compute to create a better model, that's good for the world. Forcing everyone to redo all that compute for themselves is, conversely, bad for the world.
