It doesn't matter because they hold all of the cards. It's the nature of power: you can get away with things that you normally couldn't. If you really want OpenAI to behave, you'll support their competitors and/or open source initiatives.
- benreesman 2y agoBut their product isn’t really differentiated anymore and has really low switching costs: Opus is better at almost anything than the 4-series (training on MMLU isn’t a capability increase), Mistral is competitive and vastly more operator-aligned, both are cheaper and non-scandal plagued. Mistral even has Azure distribution. FAIR is flat open-sourcing competitive models and has a more persuasive high-level representation learning agenda. What cards? Brand recognition?
