Duplicates could be useful if they are properly linked with earlier question/answer. (Something like “import answer” could be useful)

Seems like you missed the point of the article. Yes, most of the article is dedicated to describe the “leak”, but there was no call to abolish abstractions. Just the insight that one needs to understand implementation of those.

Thing to keep in mind. That Musk even might force to open up GPT4. That would be nice outcome, regardless of original intention. (Revenge or charity) Edit: after a but of thinking, more realistically, threat to open sourcing gpt4 is a lever

Most people are only mildly greedy, but that accumulates as a silt in a river, and eventually gives opportunity for more serious greed to manifest in full glory. Corporations, while are not democratic in nature, still get nudged in various
