> He reiterated his belief in the importance of open source and said that OpenAI was considering open-sourcing GPT-3. Part of the reason they hadn’t open-sourced yet was that he was skeptical of how many individuals and companies would have the capability to host and serve large LLMs. Am I reading this right? "We're not open sourcing GPT-3 because we don't think it would be useful to anyone else"

I agree, this is so bizarre

Its just a way to lie that doesn't sound as much like a lie.

He wants the release of the model to primarily benefit individuals and smaller teams as opposed to large deep-pocketed firms.

Reads to me like "we don't know how many people will have hardware powerful enough to run this".

How can you sign a statement that AI presents an extinction risk on par with nuclear weapons and then even consider open sourcing your research?

We don't provide nuclear weapons for everyone to keep in their basement, why would someone who believes AI is an existential risk provide their code?

yes i also can't wrap my head around how a ceo of a billion dollar company isn't sincere in his public statements

Really? Even after saying this? "While Sam is calling for regulation of future models, he didn’t think existing models were dangerous and thought it would be a big mistake to regulate or ban them."

More like – it won't be useful to small-time developers (since they won't have the capability to host and run it themselves) and so all the benefits will be reaped by AWS and other large players.

Having been recently taken aboard by the mothership I expect they'll start trying to tune out anything related to programming to push people towards co-pilot X.. It's pretty hilarious and annoying to see bing start to write code only to self censor itself after a few lines (deleting what was there! no wonder these guys love websockets and dynamic histories) Whoops!

Wait… what? Can you elaborate.

His statements on open sourcing in this interview/write-up is somewhat in conflict with his recent statement made last week in Munich https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170 , where he explicitly said the Frontier of GPT won't be open sourced due to what they perceive as safety reasons, https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170 (19:30 - 22:00).

I don't see the conflict. They see current models as mostly harmless, but what comes next is dangerous. It sounds a little too much sci-fi for me, but I guess he knows better.

plus this conveniently pairs with "we don't need to regulate current models, but future models... oh boy do those need to be regulated!"

I bet the NSA has dossier on every employee there as well

"Cooperate or we'll kill your family". (Just to be clear, this is a hypothetical intelligence agent saying this, not me.) I mean, it's not exactly rocket science, who wouldn't instantly fold to that?

Someone without family?
