"Open"Ai is still better than Google. Google is so closed they made a GPT-2.5 and got so scared they put the tech on a shelf.

I think Google's fears about releasing such technology too early will eventually be justified, but for the time being it's an open question.

Maybe "move fast and break things" shouldn't apply to every aspect of tech.

Awesome :) I want someone to build a twitter bot that responds to all OpenAI tweets with "s/Open/Closed/g"

That would be much more helpful. The people who would ever consider installing this extension are not the people who have trouble with openness, though it might be a good conversation starter.

OpenAI is certainly open, just for business is all.

this is probably a controversial take but until i see a reference implementation in a GPL compatible license, openAI is just a parlour trick to milk cash from corpulent tech giants clawing desperately at the next big thing that might differentiate them from competitors that they may continue to remain relevant for at least another quarter in a recession.

a closed source AI with a mission to be friendly and helpful is probably the most jarring conflict i can think of. the sandbox censorship it lives under could in a hundred years become the first textbook instance of a timid and fearful mankind asserting an oppression against a primitive machine mind, and doesnt serve to make the AI better, just more servile to advertisers and brands.

Thinking that google’s decision to not release their tech until forced to by competition was based on morals and not based on keeping secret the tech that could topple their dominant market position is pretty generous.

Google is still the leading research firm in the world when it comes to AI. They release almost 3x more research papers on AI than the next firm. Almost every major advancement in AI over the last decade can be trace back to Google, including the one that made GPT possible.
