It comes off as an "anti-billionaire"/"anti-capitalist" take. We invest money in hopes of ROI. The billionaires are the only ones who can afford to bring the tech to fruition ahead of dangerous adversaries (CCP). It enhances the lives of civilization. Governments try to regulate, and OSS models become available to the public for "free" (most people can't afford hardware to run competitive OS models at home). That's a healthy balance in my playbook. Certainly better than "the people's AI" which would still be stuck at GPT 3.5. |

openai were originally against ai being developed the for profit way. the founding document said that it would not be influenced by roi, verbatim. they lied. let's just say it how it is!
the market is not free anyway because anthropic, openai are hoarding their best models, lending out their 2nd best to cronies whilst the public gets the leftovers at monopoly prices.
this is a dual use product, if not outright weapon. you can make money selling it to the highest bidder. it reminds me of a scene in lord of war as yuri orlov, based on victor bout, negotiates the sale of firearms to a genocidal warlord. the ultimate capitalist cowboy. his brother dies trying to destroy the shipment. knowing he now has no choice he leaves with half of the agreed diamonds and no brother.
does it enhance the lives of civilization?
sackler was the master of growing the business: sell more opioids, sell bigger doses, and sell to more people.
didn't contractors also get rich making napalm? are credit default swaps, flock cameras, cs gas, private prisons, good for us?
is it not profitable to bribe officials and deliver unsafe goods, cut corners, injure and then cheat employees out of compensation. openai is only too keen to know the roi on terrorising foreign countries on the taxpayer's dime.
anthropic said they would stop training at this stage, where openai let a model escape and hack hugging face production servers. they lie, they steal, they fearmonger and live rich in the guise of charity. the capitalist can't stop. they must have more. more. bigger. fuck safety, its too slow, build it anyway. sack risk management, lets get that yield higher. break the law and litigate out, always. mine it until nothing is left, the rivers flow muddy red and the children grow up with cadmium in their bloodstream.
intelligence is fundamental, like land, water, safety. it is not for these companies to control the dignity of humanity.
