I think it would be depressing in its own way if this technology just ended up being regulated out of existence.

Why what benefit has it brought? Mass anxiety?

  Yes, and mass excitement

    Don't you mean mass investment?

  Yes. In the best possible world AI could enable a much better future, but currently we are on a quite bad trajectory.

    We should be happy that they’re stealing people’s work?

      > We should be happy that they’re stealing people’s work? No. We should credit that work is being done that otherwise may not be. I'm not defending OpenAI. I'm defending AI in general, something both OpenAI and Buckmaster (and his co-author) used.

        You literally said they _stole_ the work. Why should we give credit to that?

        So if Y happened (they stole it), why should we be happy about that? Why should we give them credit in the situation where they stole it? Why is that good for society?

      No one owns mathematics. It's not covered by IP law.

        It's immoral to steal someone's research. Quite sad that you don't believe that.
