Reply to comment by VelveteenAmbush 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]

This is hearsay, but my understanding was that Hassabis' goal was for Deepmind to be winning one Nobel Prize per year or something like this, so I don't think he's personally up for the closed research model.

I think Hassabis' goal is to build a synthetic god and reshape the cosmos, and open research isn't necessary conducive to that except as needed to keep researchers motivated and engaged.
