While OpenAI is certainly in trouble (zero Hinton students, partnership with Azure is straining, while Brin is back at Google!), its demise is still uncertain. They are still absolutely amazing lab, pushing both product and research. Execute. And make all these naysayers obsolete ;)
My biggest hope is that home computing catches up to the point where you can buy a sub-thousand-dollar card, slap it into your desktop, and run this stuff locally. Take the power away from massive, well-funded corporations with armies of lawyers and “safety weenies” and put it back in the hands of makers and tinkerers.
Right now, these models are built by the establishment to serve the establishment—and that’s a load of shit that needs to change. The real fun starts the day some random group of “anonymous” on 4chan can train one of these models to generate incredibly convincing deepfakes of world leaders, all using the compute power in their own homes.
Power to the people. Fuck the system, and all that jazz.
