The really scary thing is that this could be used as an excuse to hide production ML models and even the tech used to generate them. Sounds like we can expect the state-of-the-art AI techniques to be jealously guarded eventually. I guess optimism on the ground is enough to have prevented that so far, but once the scales tip away from sharing and towards exploitation.. well, we know it's largely a one-way process on the 1 decade time scale. Is this the chilling effect that will bring us into the next AI winter?
