That assumes that every problem can be solved with money, and that the money (or the PRs the money funds) will be welcomed by the community. By talking about what OpenAI needs Bohan is hopefully starting a conversation with the community in order to engage with everyone respectfully and to work with them.
Railroading an open source project with money or dev time in order to force it to go in the direction you want is not the right way. Those things should be available if the community asks, but they shouldn't be the opening offer.
- deadbabe 1y agoIt’s open source, you make your own fork and move on with or without the community.
- airstrike 1y agoOK but then you lose the benefit of all future upstream changes and now you have to manage constant rebasing Engaging the community and intelligently advocating for improvements is a way to contribute to projects as well, especially if you're willing to use a disposable forks to explore the design space, put forth RFCs, PRs, etc.
- WesolyKubeczek 1y ago> OK but then you lose the benefit of all future upstream changes and now you have to manage constant rebasing I thought they were swimming in enough money to hire someone to do the rebasing. Or dogfood their models to do the same.
- deadbabe 1y agoOh the horror of having to do some rebasing in a world where LLMs do all the hard work for you anyway. And at an AI company with unlimited access to compute resources no less.
- cryptonector 1y agoYou really don't want to do that with PG. Keeping your patches rebased will be a huge pain.
- deadbabe 1y agoUse LLMs.
- cryptonector 1y agoNo, not for that.
- deadbabe 1y agoFor anything, they probably excel at these sort of tasks.

- deadbabe 1y agoYou could expose this as a tool for an LLM.
- croes 1y agoI thought OpenAI has an AI that can code.
