Open Source AI seems to be setting Silicon Valley up to fail. While they pour hundreds of billions into closed AI systems in the hope they’ll get a ‘Unicorn’ that will dominate the market, at every step Open Source AI equals or exceeds them. If this goes on long enough, eventually the Venture Capitalists are going to lose.
Is the same about to happen with robotics? This announcement is not the first time a Chinese group has open-sourced a robotics model. The US is desperate to slow Chinese technological advancement. Is this all part of Chinese counter-measures? If it isn’t, is it just a coincidence it will severely hamper how Silicon Valley functions?
Why would VC money go into open source?
The entire point of VC is getting a return on investment, where is the return on making something you give away for free?
That’s why your link is about a nonprofit.
Are you really asking when wealthy capitalist will just start giving their wealth away out of the goodness of the heart for the betterment of humanity?
Cuz…
It’s gonna be a while.
oh they wont, however, reverse engineering by open source companies or competing companies like the ones that created R1 have demonstrated that open source AI is not only able to keep up with large AI companies, but also able to offer more or slightly less at certain development points with lesser hardware through more efficient coding. also as AI progresses the ability to use AI, to make AI progresses as well.
open source AI is undermining the industry whenever it can, and i love seeing those corpos lose their shit.
demonstrated that open source AI is not only able to keep up with large AI companies,
Mostly because the hard part is training, not coding…
The VC is what pays for that training, with the hopes that once it’s trained, it will be good enough to make money.
Its great there’s an open source code for an AI, but it’s not what you think is happening.
Open source … HA!
yes please
