OpenAI is turning out to be not supportive to the developer community with its hidden intent of becoming the monopoly.

How are they becoming a monopoly with midjourney and stable diffusion as strong opponents?
By having backroom discussions with governments around the world and discussing how to regulate their competitors out of existence? [0] None of them have the money or influence to lobby for such changes like OpenAI does (alongside with Microsoft)

The path way to an OpenAI monopoly is quite clear, especially with the controlling stake from Microsoft. So I won't be surprised to see OpenAI continuously attempt and revive their regulatory capture using licences [1] against actual 'open' AI companies who release their papers, code, models, etc.

Yeah, good luck with keeping something open sourced secret again. Worked like a charm with encryption and DVDs CSS.
