Part 8/9:
OpenAI’s recent policy proposals, although grounded in genuine concerns surrounding user data, could inadvertently boomerang on their platform and the AI landscape as a whole, suppressing vital innovation from more open sources like Deep Seek. While competition can often fuel progress, it can also lead to toxic environments when driven by censorship and protectionism.
Conclusion: Embracing Openness
As someone who champions open-source principles, it is disheartening to witness OpenAI’s posture against the most open AI company in existence today, Deep Seek. The latter serves as a compelling example of how openness can actively contribute to the rapid advancement of technology, while also encouraging others to follow suit.
