I'm not to worried about AI. Isn't the next iteration of GPT closed source? Technology is made best as a research or passion project, but once profits become the focus everything goes down hill. That and when you consider the global supply chain required to manufacture the chips that AI depends on, well things aren't looking too great in that department.

Tl;DR humans will shit all over the prospect of scary intelligent AI well before we get there.

“Open”AI is entirely proprietary and closed-source.

Meta’s Llama series are kind of open source, but don’t publish the weights and so can’t really be reproduced with full accuracy without a ton of manual effort.

These and many other companies in the hype-space are using the same published research from a few years ago, which is why they have similar qualities.

Chatgpt was not open source in the first place

OpenAI started out as a non-profit and has since than mostly switched to a for-profit company. ChatGPT was never open source.

Guess I'm wrong here, some AI went closed source recently?

There are plenty of open source GPTs and they are pretty good. It's only a matter of time
