The open-source AI boom is precariously built on top of Big Tech's giant models like LLaMA and GPT-3, and could fold if Meta and OpenAI decide to close up shop
but the next generation of AI breakthroughs will be entirely back in the hands of the biggest, richest AI labs in the world” https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... Matt Rogerson / @mattrogerson : This is really good by @strwbilly. The fate of this boom rests in familiar hands. Everything has changed, nothing has changed! The open-source AI boom is built on Big Tech's handouts. How long will it last? https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... Max von Thun / @maxvonthun : Despite what Google's ‘leaked’ memo would have you think, this incisive piece by @strwbilly shows how most ‘open-source’ AI is built atop a handful of centralised models - and why access to those is likely to quickly narrow. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... Alan Lau / @alanlau999 : So @OpenAI wont be open anymore? Smell like #BigTech monopolies all over again. AI will determine how info (and our world) is organised. Scary to think it's left in the hands of a few again https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... Michael Jackson / @workmj : “If the trend toward closing down access continues, then not only will the open-source crowd be cut adrift—but the next generation of AI breakthroughs will be entirely back in the hands of the biggest, richest AI labs in the world.” https://www.technologyreview.com/ ... @techreview : The future of how AI is made and used is at a crossroads. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...
