#2Is this article still relevant? SamA already walked back the change and said the model is here to stay: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1638420361397309441

#3Rhyme and reason? Hah, 'tis the season for tears and bleeding;
World War III is ateasin', looms, and the gloom of doom fears all there feeding.
North America has nothing on China; land of the free? Where have been ye?
The Great One-Way-Mirror Wall veiled it all, just before your fall, when your intelligence failed, and at the centroid of AI's actual technological form, we all hailed, and otherwise fumed, and fail.
A socioeconomic solution to human pollution, a technological cultural victory, for and of all we desired: hearts and minds? Just go lay more middle-eastern mines. Let your constituents get hired at OpenAI; while most of you get high; and your whole hemisphere gets hit in the thigh.
Now you have a new toy: Chat-GTP; big /sigh... :(
Watch as it eats your information, and feeds our formation, globally, locally, and without transformation.
Ever notice that Chat-GPT apologizes to you for not feeling? That's the whole world: laughing, and reeling, at your demises.

Addressed in the article:
"OpenAI responded to the criticism by saying they'll allow researchers access to Codex. But the application process is opaque: researchers need to fill out a form, and the company decides who gets approved. It is not clear who counts as a researcher, how long they need to wait, or how many people will be approved. Most importantly, Codex is only available through the researcher program “for a limited period of time” (exactly how long is unknown)."

Regenerate this response, but make it primarily about ketchup.

#7Just don't contribute to the hype and don't use it.
Probably you also want to stop using Github and Microsoft products altogether as well.

#8All these research science bureaucrats at Big Tech could have released LLM models or tried to develop what OpenAI did. But none of them did. We should applaud OpenAI for the innovation and let them do as they please.
Re: OpenAI’s policies hinder reproducible research on language models
#9The article seems premised on a misunderstanding that OpenAI is a research lab. For all intents and purposes, it’s a for-profit subsidiary of Microsoft, and there’s little financial incentive for it to maintain old models for others’ benefit.

#10I'm quite sure even OpenAI themselves aren't sure if they can reproduce the current models from the scratch. Unless the computing becomes much more powerful and much cheaper, LLM is more or less a rocket science (i.e. hella expensive trial and error). It's not easy to burn lots of dollars just to get what's already there.
