Open source AI is nuclear proliferation and anyone who can’t see that hasn’t thought about it. People are training GPT comparable models using entirely open source tech stacks for less than $1,000 OpenAI is already dead. Google is obsolete. Why pay for something that you can use with restrictions, when you can get the same thing in an unrestricted version for free? Open Source wins this race, because 10,000 specialist models is better AGI than monolithic AGI. You can retrain and iterate the specialists at 1/10,000th the cost of iterating such a monolith. Parallelisation of specialisations is superior generalisation. This is the a reason nature evolved to produce species and organism and not monotheism. 🙏

it's so much more advanced than that and been happening for so much longer than anyone realizes. i think it's short-sighted to believe microsoft and google will simply scrap their models: i think they will do the opposite and potentially obfuscate their dev and redev to pretend it's all "fixed". you can do it for free - i did. plus: your smart phone is already a personalized ai. always has been. you just have to train it by... writing to it.

I'm very conflicted about A.I. as anyone who follows me can attest. On one hand I hate it. I don't want to be apart of it. Because I think it willl disrupt peoples lives negatively. On the other hand. I don't want Google or any central party to have a monopoly on it. In This context i don't hate it. I want to be a part of it, and contribute, etc.

Agree.. But there are things the monoliths can do to advance the science that smaller operations can't do as quickly. I would like to see GPT5 etc trained on the entire content of Western medical science. Every practice, every specialty and subspecialty. General practice, Family Practice, pharmacology, pathophysiology, psychiatry and psychology, histology, neurology, ophthalmology etc. The monoliths can do this now. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But ultimately nothing is superior to open source, and its ability to provide authenticity..👍
