the whole thing playing out as expected. if you think about it, the only question is the timeline.

the next model with a gap to mythos as mythos is to opus will be controlled technology from the get-go. the one after it may be top secret.

[khalic]

Open models will catch up eventually, TOTL models will get distilled into smaller, more efficient versions, it’s not something you can moat indefinitely

[baq]

who is going to continue to publish these open models and why would they keep doing it?

[losvedir]

China will, but they'll only be useable by hackers torrenting it and running it on small GPU clusters you learn about on IRC. Everything old is new again.

[baq]

I have no idea why people keep thinking this

[pbhjpbhj]

Or OpenAI will pay Trump's regime's bribe and they'll suddenly realise that it does not need controlling and they're free to sell it?

[baq]

that's... an optimistic take I think
