Fair enough, the analogy is flawed; let me try again. Then you think you should have access to all books, all music, all movies, etc. because they do not have the scarcity of a rocket and can be easily copied?

I'm a huge fan of open source, and I especially appreciate that so much of the software and tooling in ML and AI is open source. At the same time, DeepMind can release or not whatever they want, you are not entitled to it. But fear not, someone will release an open source work-alike soon enough. Perhaps HuggingFace, maybe some other group.

I don't think we should be applying the same standards to AI, which will be the most important technology in all of history. The way it proliferates is going to make a large impact on humanity's future.

Of course, DeepMind is perfectly within their legal rights to not share their models. But ethically speaking, they should... or maybe they should be trying to keep AI out of the hands of the public at all costs. Either way, this is too important to rely on copyright laws for answers.

other than infohazards, yes, obviously.
and realistically that's a terrible analogy to make on the internet.
you know, the place that has "all books, all music, all movies, etc.".

regardless of any "companies can do what they want" mentality, I think a culture of blinding/jailing/restricting 90% of major AI models is how you get skynet coming online with complete hostility. Not saying I'm opposed to that, just that I don't think it plays out the way people think.
