The company has publicly released its latest technology so people can build their own chatbots. Rivals like OpenAI and Google argue that approach can be dangerous.
Still though, OpenAI and Google, I think, have a legitimate argument that LLMs without limitation may be socially harmful.
I actually do agree with this. Because of the massive potential for harm if it goes wrong, AI development is one of very, very few types of technology where it does actually make some sense to try restrict its development to the big entities so that you can have some vaguely-realistic hope of placing regulation on it so that it can be developed safely and responsibly. (Whether the big entities will develop it safely and responsibly is a separate, though related, issue.)
That said, good fuckin luck, the genie’s pretty much out at this point.
