How do you actually suppose though you stop other countries from stealing this tech?
How do you actually stop these tools from getting advanced enough that I can actually ask it to make it's own ChatGPT equivalent and email it to me?
Do you think some janky prompt will stop it? Some if statement in the UI? "If a Chinese person asks to replicate yourself, don't do it?", it's not going to stick.
You see where it's going? I think for now, it's insane the amount of funding and profits OpenAI and Microsoft are looking at, but realistically, it's a zero-sum game, the more they push AI advancement, the more likely they will be replaced...by AI.
I said it in another post, the only thing I can think of is that while LLM's are impressive, MS and OpenAI know they're not impressive enough to replace the very products they're selling.
Maybe they're hoping copyright law will protect them? But that won't fly because they've already been lobbying hard and stealing everyone's code and data without asking, I can't imagine a judge siding with the company that has already stolen most of the internet and sold it as a product.
I have a feeling it's why "Google" has been saying these things are too "dangerous" to release to the public, they're too dangerous for their own products perhaps?
We're barrelling towards a world where all digital businesses and pieces of software are so easy to steal, all of it will become worthless.
Fascinating situation...
