I like what Sam Altman suggested. OpenAI should open source all aspects of ChatGPT immediately and be reimbursed via tax revenue in the form of totalCostsThusFar * 7 so that each employee gets 7 years of their compensation paid for, so they can take a sabbatical and then contribute to building plugins.

Run the model itself and the plugin store as distributed simple software that runs on the common internet backbone.

Make it as simple as Google search used to be, but with the resources of the government behind it. Privacy and security guaranteed by the Constitution and the American military. Free chalice of knowledge for all.

Then roll out the same compensation structure for all who build plugins people want. We know what plugin and api iPhone moments look like.

Make training additional models 1% of American GDP each year moving forward and reinvest that into plugin development and general self development grants for technology companies that make a difference in making things better.

What makes you think total costs and total salaries are even close to the same? What makes you think the company getting that amount of money means the employees getting the same amount?

I mean the blind spots you have are just way too numerous, large and fundamental to even bother with your comment.

Those questions aren't blind spots at all. Those types of problems are very easy to solve, just think about it like a child would. "Keep paying people for 7 years"

Every employee at Open AI gets their current comp for the next seven years. The idea is to turn this into an open library or model in its entirety so that anyone can run it on their own harwdware and so that training costs go down more.
