Yeah like the databricks dolly post is funny to me because they are an enterprise software company and dolly is not really useful in the context they operate in. I guess they just wanted to get some publicity.

Looks like openassist, when mature, could enable this. Although it seems the precursor to an Alpaca-like dataset is an RLHF model, which itself needs human-labeled dataset, so that bottleneck needs to be solved too.
