>Yes, these open models could stand to be more open and I hope that we'll see that in the future
The most operative word here is hope. Which means we may not see more get open sourced over time. Especially, if there is no pressure for companies to do so.
>If we constantly downplay and disparage the real efforts that companies make to release IP to the world because they don't go as far as we'd like, we're setting ourselves up for a world where companies don't release anything at all.
I don't mean anything as disparagement or downplay, but companies aren't releasing this stuff because it makes everyone feel good. Its a tactic. They're only open sourcing something because they expect to get something out of it. That's fine, I'm all for that. That's a valid reason, and often it can be a 2 way street.
What it isn't though, is an attempt at any company saying "we are open sourcing this today because we want to encourage more transparency and auditability as AI takes on more critical roles in society, to ensure in the domains its being applied, to the best of our ability and the ability of our community, that it does not inherit negative human biases"
> companies aren't releasing this stuff because it makes everyone feel good. Its a tactic.
It's a tactic, but one of the primary reasons to expect it to be effective is building goodwill in the community. If the goodwill dries up then most of the reason to open anything up is gone.
