There's a difference between "information wants to be free" and "Facebook can produce works minimally derived from your greatest creative work at a scale you can't match". LLMs seem to aggregate that value to whoever builds the model, which they can then sell access to, or sell the output it produces.

Five years from now, will OpenAI actually be open, or will it be a rent seeking org chasing the next quarterly gains? I expect the latter.

"Will OpenAI actually be open"

That ship sailed, friend.

OpenAI is not only no longer a charity in any meaningful sense of the word anymore, it's now an adversarial organization working against the public good.

After privatization, they sent their PR people to lobby congress to make it impossible for anyone to compete with them (important note: not out of any interest in actually "protecting" the public from the very AI they're building), and perhaps worst of all, they're no longer being open with the scientific theories and data behind their new models.

we are rapidly achieving the cyberpunk future, and it's much worse than we thought.

I wonder what is _not_ in the list?
