We Have No Moat And neither does OpenAI

We’ve done a lot of looking over our shoulders at OpenAI. Who will cross the next milestone? What will the next move be?

But the uncomfortable truth is, we aren’t positioned to win this arms race and neither is OpenAI. While we’ve been squabbling, a third faction has been quietly eating our lunch.

I’m talking, of course, about open source. Plainly put, they are lapping us. Things we consider “major open problems” are solved and in people’s hands today.

    Note that this is the opinion of a single AI researcher that works at Google, so take it with a grain of salt.

    I’m not a fan of google but not a fan of sensationalism either.
