- lelanthran 2y agoThere's nothing quite so satisfying as increasing the blast radius.

- vekker 2y agoWhy not? Someone changing their mind, showing repentance for past mistakes, and making corrective action ought to be a good thing.
- rvnx 2y agoYes but only if you actually do the corrective actions, right ?
- buyucu 2y agoAltman is not changing his mind. Altman is doing damage control. When OpenAI started, they were opensourcing everything. They stoppped open sourcing when they realized they could make a ton of money out of it.
- vekker 2y agoProbably yes, but his internal state doesn't matter, as long as the outcome is line with their original mission of open sourcing again :)
- blitzar 2y ago> Would you consider releasing some model weights, and publishing some research? > i personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy; not everyone at openai shares this view, and it's also not our current highest priority. The "different open source strategy" is going to be copying other peoples homework more
- retskrad 2y agoChatGPT has become a synonymous with chatbots and Thell be synonymous with AGI when it arrives. ChatGPT had 300 million weekly active users some time ago and it’s growing at an incredible clip. Normies now see OpenAI and chat bots like they view search engines and Google.
- rvnx 2y agoFast-forward in 10 years, we will have 128 GB of memory in our devices, better packed models and optimized LLM acceleration chips. Seems fine to run DeepSeek-R1 locally. So, no more OpenAI for day-to-day use unless a deep internet search is needed.
- HelloMcFly 2y agoIn this scenario, AI companies are frozen in time while personal electronics improve. Ten years is a long time, make all forecasts with the confidence that you're likely wrong for reasons that haven't emerged yet.
- SR2Z 2y agoAI companies != OpenAI and there is no guarantee that all the AI innovation in the future will even happen in the US.
- HelloMcFly 2y agoThat is precisely the point I'm making, though without any predictions or speculation myself.
- buyucu 2y agoDeepSeek gives for free, what OpenAI asks people to pay for. OpenAI is in a lot of trouble.
- smileysteve 2y agoThis is exactly what Google and OpenAi meant when they list "no moat" as a risk.

- buyucu 2y agoSoftbank is dumb money at the poker table once again. Will they be left holding the bag again, like they did with WeWork?
