    Glad to see everyone agrees this is

    1. funny cos they’re crying over stealing what they stole

    2. acknowledges this means the weights are actually open sourced (which is how it fuckin should be)

    also discussion i’ve seen elsewhere:

    1. when considering the energy footprint of chatgpt, also consider the energy footprint of running the internet for 20 years to accumulate all that data they stole. therefore the most ecological option is to extract the weights and then opensource it.

    just want to add

    1. if the accusations aren’t true (still a possibility), oai is probably deliberately buying time/stock recovery by keeping this discussion in the news rather than everyone discussing how much they suck

    2. if large entities are going to capture and then open source each others proprietary weights. that may actually be one of the best outcomes for global humanity amidst this “AI” craze
