One of my concerns is looking at the inception evolution of OpenAI and it’s initial goal of “Open” AI development and how over time it pivoted from its founding philosophy, ethics and values and in 2018 prioritized commercialization and in 2019 set up a capped profit structure. Given Sam Altaman’s incredibly questionable ethical and transparency practices with World Coin, his power unchecked is of absolute grave concern as there is nothing “Open” about OpenAI today. Maybe it should be rebranded “Sam & Microsoft’s AI?”

“Now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft,” Elon Musk posted to Twitter. “Not what I intended at all.”

“OpenAI's transformation from an open-source champion to a closed-source, profit-driven company is a cautionary tale for the AI industry. “

There are many lessons to learn from the early history of the internet and the consolidation of corporate control that you elucidated to. It is important to observe the foundational terrain that is established in the generative AI ecosystem these next few months.

I would feel a lot better if there was a decentralized open source generative AI solution that is fully in line with the values of both Bitcoin and Nostr protocols. I think such a solution would be integral to helping preserve the future of digital sovereignty and collaborative innovation for future generations as we can very quickly end up in a form of digital serfdom if only select corporations dominate the generative AI market.
