I agree, but what I'm saying is that Deepmind is gonna stop publishing their good stuff. And it's not because of OpenAI.

IMO ml research papers weren't profitable before, and companies benefited for the collective effort, plus to retain talent. But now we're seeing ML models having huge impact on companies and single incremental papers can actually improve the bottom line, so all companies are gonna start closing their doors

I think the culture of publishing has been dying and people will think OpenAI was the one to trigger it, but in reality other companies already started restricting publications. Deepmind being the biggest one.
