Very, very tired of companies embracing openness and share-alike mentalities when it’s their turn to take and then skulking pit when it’s their time to give. Reminds me of how Crunchyroll started off selling a subscription to stream other people’s pirated and fansubbed anime.
AI was already one of the most publicly open scientific fields before OpenAI grew to dominance. Google, Microsoft and Facebook were all making significant open contributions to the field.
OpenAI is reversing all that. They’re not releasing any code or data researchers could experiment with. Completely opposite of what their name suggests.
Meta deserves a lot the hate they get, but at least they’re still one of the most significant open contributors to the field - most recently with the release of Llama models.
I’m not super into their history but afaik they started out open & non profit (allegedly, they had people like Musk on board so take that with a grain of salt) and over the years then did basically a full 180. lol
What does the Open in the name stand for, then?
