Should AI research be open or closed? Experts disagree.

, but as researchers and experts pore over its accompanying materials, many have expressed disappointment at one particular feature: that despite the name of its parent company, GPT-4 is not anOpenAI has shared plenty of benchmark and test results for GPT-4, as well as some intriguing demos, but has offered essentially no information on the data used to train the system, its energy costs, or the specific hardware or methods used to create it.

“I think we can call it shut on ‘Open’ AI: the 98 page paper introducing GPT-4 proudly declares that they’re disclosing *nothing* about the contents of their training set,”Here, Schmidt is referring to a section in the GPT-4Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture , hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar.

“On the competitive landscape front — it’s competitive out there,” said Sutskever. “GPT-4 is not easy to develop. It took pretty much all of OpenAI working together for a very long time to produce this thing. And there are many many companies who want to do the same thing, so from a competitive side, you can see this as a maturation of the field.”

“On the safety side, I would say that the safety side is not yet as salient a reason as the competitive side. But it’s going to change, and it’s basically as follows. These models are very potent and they’re becoming more and more potent. At some point it will be quite easy, if one wanted, to cause a great deal of harm with those models. And as the capabilities get higher it makes sense that you don’t want want to disclose them.

“I fully expect that in a few years it’s going to be completely obvious to everyone that open-sourcing AI is just not wise.”

its been 4 years now, and OpenAI hasn't changed their name

right, Corpos claming up.

Yeah I knew it was too good to be true.

Not so open Ai after all

Should change your company name OpenAI

Translation - Open research was good when we were behind and needed Google to share their research. Since we figured out a way to make money off it, we no longer see the need to share our research! 🤷🏻‍♀️. So long suckas!

We were wrong, there’s no 💰 in doing the right thing

This is so clearly about building capital. And they know that safety by obfuscation doesn't work, it's just a convenient excuse that enough people still believe.

To late the genie is out of the bottle

ShutAI is a better name perhaps?

Apple pioneered this decades ago.

CloseAI

Lol. MS came in with their bag of money and said “you ain’t Open no more, OpenAI.”

Those server costs don't come cheap

Money talks, bullshit walks.

Laughing out loud

OpenAI CloseAI

So much for bringing AI to the masses. 💰💰💰 talks doesn't it?

They should drop the name. It's misleading 😄

This is a huge step back for the AI community. However, I'm still confident that open-source models will soon be able to replicate whatever OpenAI is doing.

Dirtbags

lol.

I'm sure elonmusk has thoughts here

Ruh roh. The MBAs are taking over AI…
