Maybe but something has gotta pay the bills to justify the cutting edge. I guess it's a similar problem to researching medicine.

Well the artists and writers also want to pay their bills. We threw them under the bus, might as well throw openAI too and get an actual open AI that we can use

The investment thrown at OpenAI seems deeply inflated for how much meaningful progress they're able to make with it

I think it's clear that innovative breakthroughs in bleeding-edge research are not just a matter of blindly hurling more money at a company to build unprecedentedly expensive datacenters

But also, even if that was a way to do it, I don't think we should be wielding the law to enable privately-held companies to be at the forefront of research, especially in such a grossly inconsistent manner
