None of this will protect against actual risks like massive job losses without any reskilling, lowering of living standards and widespread censorship.
Like, should there be prescription drugs? If you say no, you should be able to get any drug without a prescription, that's pretty out there.
But the question is whether AI is that dangerous, and there's widespread disagreement on that.
I think OpenAI is making it clear to get your seat at the table now. And it probably will be true that this will make it harder for upstarts to join in, but everything so far they've talked about seem reasonable and make sense. And have you worked on things like GDPR compliance? It's a wonder that anyone bothers to get large enough to comply -- it's so much work. But we think privacy is important so we put a huge burden on those companies who hold our data.
And also, in our globalised world, if one or two countries decide to kill competition in the AI space, then I'll bet you that the hosting will move to a different country:)
This is akin to a ship sinking while people are blocking the hallways and fretting about how their makeup looks and where they put their jewelry at. It's so maddeningly absurd there's no point in even discussion, shove them in the nearest cabin and out of the way so the serious people can get on with it.
Why?
I'm not concerned about censorship, but I am deeply concerned about the potential economic fallout. Why shouldn't I be? I would genuinely love to have one less worry on my plate.
Is the ACLU or EFF doing anything in this space?
How is DALL-E 2 the "industry frontier" of image generation?
It is very very weird OpenAI has done nothing with DALL-E 2, not even a price drop to compete.
I'm even more sure a price drop wouldn't let them compete with the open models out there.
>Dalle 2
I'm sorry OpenAI, but your model is not the frontier; also it's funny that it's the only text-to-image models mentioned, they probably know how better the other models are.
Also similar to everyone's response when asked: "What do _you_ think your punishment should be?"
EDIT: Although likely still has investments in YC backed companies -- but just a guess.
