Reply to comment by ComprehensiveBoss815 in [D] What do people think about OpenAI not releasing its research but benefiting from others’ research? Should google meta enforce its patents against them? by [deleted]

I'm not referring to OpenAI here. Meta released the weights to Llama and now anyone can build an AI based on that model for any purpose and without any attempt at alignment. Maybe there's middle ground between the two approaches.

From a research perspective, imo, it's 1000x better to follow the Meta model of release code + architecture openly and share weights with researchers than to be completely closed and call yourself Open. I understand that there are genuine risks with weights been available to adversaries but I think it's still better for the progress of the very young field of AI.
