We already live in a post-GPT3 world, but one where all its power is the hands of a private company.

The conversation needs to move on whether making it open and democratic is a good idea, but the tech itself is here to stay.

EleutherAI’s unofficial motto is “anything safe enough for Microsoft to sell for profit is safe enough to release.” You’re kidding yourself if you think Microsoft cares who they sell it to.

There are worthwhile conversations to have about democratizing technology, but this stuff is already out there regardless of what you or I do.
