Reply to comment by gahblahblah in [D][N] LAION Launches Petition to Establish an International Publicly Funded Supercomputing Facility for Open Source Large-scale AI Research and its Safety by stringShuffle

It's kinda ironic there already is an OpenAI and it's exactly the opposite.

Let us hope these initiatives get all the necessary support and that they stay loyal to their foundational concepts.

Lol they opened up their AI to be trained for free for "research purposes..." Sounds similar to how certain corporations greatly profited from recent current events over the passed couple of years... Wonder if they'll even go as far as calling people some kind of hero for helping them make a bigger profit >.>

I'm already getting a little frustrated by how many things promoted as open source use openai. I get that there's some wiggle room with terminology. But it's often on the level of just having a shell script built on top of a binary and calling it open source because you can edit the launcher.

I'm absolutely fine with openai doing its thing. I'm grateful for it in fact. But I really hate how much it's muddying the waters.
