So basically, Altman announced Deep Research less than a month ago and open-source alternatives are already out? Investors are not going to be happy unless OpenAI outperforms them all by an order of magnitude
Good grief, AI researchers need to learn basic humility if they want to market their tech successfully. Unless they're toppling our states and liberating us from capital (extremely difficult to imagine) I have a difficult time imagining any value or threat AI could provide that necessitates this level of drama.
And for the big AI companies, like OpenAI, it has the very beneficial side-effect of establishing the narrative that lets them influence politics into regulating their potential competitors out of the market. Because they are, of course, the only reasonable and responsible builders of self-described doomsday devices.
