OpenAI sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing

They never were in sheep’s clothing. They took $10 billion from Microsoft. Anyone closely partnering with a top wolf is probably a wolf cub on a journey into the wolf pack.
From 2015 to 2018 they were non profit but after that it seemed a bit iffy.
I meant after the deal. They might have been OK up to that point.

I think the case study still raises questions about whether we should require specific licensing or contractual terms for what these organizations produce. For instance, that they dual-licensed all their models or (if safety is a worry) always shared them with research institutions. That by itself might have given us GPT3 or GPT4 with the Llama- and Falcon-type communities building on them.
