    OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.

    No, that was what OpenAI said its goals originally were. They were lying. They always intended for it to become a capitalist venture. Anyone who listens to Tech Won’t Save Us or This Machine Kills or Team Human have known all along. Or anyone like me who’s been in the industry for thirty years.

      I too have been in the industry for many a decade and I heartily concur. I do have many colleagues though that also have been in for many years, and those are still dedicated believers. Maybe their critical thinking has been eaten away by all the lead in soldering tin?

        That reminds me, I was temporarily blinded once from breathing in too much soldering fume.

      It’s really disappointing as a huge fan of sci-fi myself. I know we won’t get flying cars and stuff anytime soon, but technology in general is super cool. Humans are really ingenious.

      And these corporate troglodytes had to go and ruin a good thing. I hope their balls explode.
