wasn't that the point of this whole openai thing? they didn't like the idea of there being a club with just google in it that had access to resources and funding to collect and train on massive datasets so they were going to be the "bad actors" who would do their own scraping, train their own models and share them around?

isn't it supposed to be called OPENai?

they don't want to share the data because they don't want to throw away the edge they've gained by collecting it. :)

computer programs that generate human like text aren't dangerous, the internet is full of human like text that is mostly bullshit anyway.

I have had the same impression regarding their work on dota. They got a lot of publicity with it but their work is not open at all. They have released neither their code which runs the bots on dota2 nor their training code nor the final model. All we have is video recordings of a few games against humans.
>faint praise for soccer champion who apparently keeps winning games through poor performance.

I can’t disagree.
