Open source/science! If open models approach/maintain near-SotA capabilities, then there's hope for avoiding a Big Tech AI aristocracy. Currently, that means Meta releasing their 405B GPT-4 killer (and probably subsequent models).
We'll need community unity, to implement research results, test/harden models, create/aggregate/clean massive new datasets, figure out distributed training, lower hardware requirements, encourage experts to join the effort, praise companies who contribute to open source, etc.
You don't have to tell me that we'll fail. I know. But we have to try. It's the only way we'll have AI aligned to us, not a handful of techbros with savior complexes.
In my opinion, regulations are more important. Open source models cannot get to the same mainstream adoption as closed source ones, simply because closed source models will get more funding.
No-one beyond the tech circle will ever hear about these models or use them. This is a good second step but the first step is regulations.
