I also can't believe that these media companies haven't learned the lesson they shouldn't have learned by looking what happened with Google and saying maybe we shouldn't give that away, at any cost. Like what's their bargaining position after the training has been done?
This isn't proof that it won't happen again, it just says that the rate at which new innovations in software (and a new workout app doesn't count) has slowed down. LLMs being the exception but it's not like you and I can start an AI company in our garage.
I'm so glad that some companies/people are building and releasing models to the public. This amazing development being exclusive to OpenAI would've been a terrible situation for the world.
One of my issues as someone who works in tech is that it so much capital has poured in and so much attention was on the field that there are relatively few innovations where one can create value. OpenAI being an exception that also proves the rule. A true innovation that literally needs billions of $ to have a chance of happening. Microsoft or Amazon didn't need that kind of money to build successful companies on the back of new business models.
