Reply to comment by ScientiaEtVeritas in [D] What do people think about OpenAI not releasing its research but benefiting from others’ research? Should google meta enforce its patents against them? by [deleted]

Is it a good thing though for companies to be open-sourcing things like their weights? If there's enough knowledge in the open to build powerful un-aligned AIs that seems rather dangerous to me. I definitely don't want anyone to be able to build their own AGI to use for their own reasons.

OpenAI isn't even publishing the architecture or training method. Let alone the weights. They are in full on closed mode but have gall to still ask people to give them free training data.

I'm not referring to OpenAI here. Meta released the weights to Llama and now anyone can build an AI based on that model for any purpose and without any attempt at alignment. Maybe there's middle ground between the two approaches.

From a research perspective, imo, it's 1000x better to follow the Meta model of release code + architecture openly and share weights with researchers than to be completely closed and call yourself Open. I understand that there are genuine risks with weights been available to adversaries but I think it's still better for the progress of the very young field of AI.
