OpenAI's Head of Strategic Futures, Dean Ball, has posted on X to complain about a Chinese company publishing an open AI. OpenAI thinks that open AI is a bad idea, and here are some arguments: "Open-weight models are inherently decelerationist [slowing down AI development], and ... in the end, open-weight models deter further AI capex." Good. Oh wait, you meant that as a bad thing? "One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism" What does that mean? "Rather than a market product, AI is a "public good" Oh, ok. But isn't a public good good for the public? "This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape" A public good is a dystopian hellscape? 1/3
