The drawbridges are being pulled up.

Deep learning and large language models grew through free and open source software tools, open-protocol networks and open-access research. The next revolution in computing is a reversion to the closed world of computing’s early days, when the number of machines could be counted on one hand.

A black box language model is the ultimate “binary blob.”




Realistically, it seems like the drawbridges will fall down even faster.

Open source models like Chinchilla are... not that far behind GPT-4.

It's questionable how much of a moat OpenAI will have in 5 years... Bard, Chinchilla, are all competitive.
