OpenAI is being pranked: We are ClosedAI, no longer Open!
Author | Shadow
The founder of OpenAI fell out? Is it going to be "closed"? A link that looked exactly like the "OpenAI website" was suddenly upvoted by many people.
This link fakes the official website of OpenAI, and pretends to be a man who is expected to surpass the top Musk, a popular CEO who has tasted the unlimited business cooperation space of ChatGPT: Sam Altman issued an announcement letter: "OpenAI" becomes "ClosedAI"!
The following is the full text of the pseudo-announcement (translated):
Dear OpenAI community,
I would like to borrow This is an opportunity to announce significant changes to our organization. You may have noticed that OpenAI is now ClosedAI. This change reflects our new approach to intellectual property.
We are now a for-profit company, and as such, we need to protect our investment in research and development. Therefore, we have decided to close our patents and research to the public. We believe this is the best way to ensure our jobs remain secure and that we can continue to innovate and push the boundaries of artificial intelligence.
I know many of you may be disappointed with this decision, and I want to assure you that we do not take it lightly. We understand that our mission has always been to create safe and beneficial AI for everyone, and we still hold that mission dear. However, we believe that by closing our research we can better achieve our goals.
By keeping our research "closed" we can ensure that it is only used to improve humanity. We will continue to work with government, academia and other organizations to ensure that our AI is used ethically and responsibly. We will also continue to publish papers and share our findings with select partners who share our vision for AI.
I want to emphasize that our core values have not changed. We remain committed to creating artificial intelligence that benefits everyone, and we believe our new approach will help us achieve this goal. We also understand that this decision may cause questions and concerns for our community. We will do our best to resolve these issues and keep you informed of our progress.
Thank you for your continued support of CloseAI. We look forward to working with you to create a better future.
1. The approach is a bit "lost", but it makes sense
When you read that sentence: "I would like to use this to announce a major change in the organization: You may have noticed that OpenAI is now ClosedAI .”
The author almost believes it, because after taking stock of OpenAI’s past, coupled with Musk’s verbal criticism, it is obvious that OpenAI is indeed becoming more and more opaque!
ChatGPT: It is very unethical and illegal to start a for-profit business under the guise of a non-profit organization. Non-profit organizations whose resources are used for charitable or public purposes should operate in a transparent and accountable manner. Any attempt to abuse a nonprofit’s privileges will only result in a loss of public trust in it and may result in legal consequences.
The comment section of Musk’s tweet was full of complaints: “This is exactly what they did to ChatGPT, isn’t it?” “The crazy business world is full of scammers pretending to do honest/charitable work. If it’s legal but If it is immoral, it should not be allowed!" "OpenAI has become ClosedAI"...
From a non-profit organization to limited profit to using API, it seems that OpenAI has changed at this time!
From this fake announcement, it is not difficult to see that preventing model abuse and protecting intellectual property rights such as patents are the reasons for this change.
But the truth may not be that simple. There are at least three reasons:
(1) The first is the need for money. The company said in its API announcement blog, "Commercializing technology helps us pay for ongoing artificial intelligence research, safety and policy efforts."
(2) The second reason, helping giants income. OpenAI said that "it will be difficult for anyone but large companies to benefit from the underlying technology."
(3) Finally, the company claims that releasing via API rather than open source is safer because the company can deal with abuse situations.
2. OpenAI’s mission change journey
The tone and mission of OpenAI have changed greatly since its inception, when it was just a non-profit organization. As Altman published last Friday in a blog post titled "AGI and Beyond". In this article, he declared that OpenAI’s Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will benefit all mankind. He used idealistic language to advocate that the development of artificial intelligence should never stop and “the future of mankind should be determined by mankind.”
#While the company has been looking to the future of AGI's existence, it has promised not to seek profit and even freely share the code it develops.
3. Establishment: Non-profit organization, benefiting all mankind
OpenAI was established in 2015 as a non-profit research institution, led by Sam Terman, Elon Musk, Peter Thi Er co-founded it with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and other technology leaders.
In its founding statement, the company declared its commitment to research to advance digital intelligence "in ways most likely to benefit humanity," unconstrained by the need to generate financial returns.
"Since our research has no financial obligation, we can better focus on the positive impact on humanity" and encourages all researchers to share "papers, blog posts or code, our patents if available ) will be shared with the world."
1.2018: Subtle changes
When OpenAI first started, it was envisioned as an open way to conduct basic artificial intelligence research, and its purpose was yet to be determined. At the time, co-founder Greg Bockman said, "Our goal right now...is to do the best thing possible. It's a little nebulous." This led to a pivot in 2018, when the company Seeking capital resources to pursue some direction. Sure enough, the company wrote in its charter, updated in 2018: "Our first fiduciary responsibility is to humanity. We anticipate needing to raise significant resources to accomplish our mission."
2.2019: Ditch the Nonprofit
By March 2019, OpenAI gave up its non-profit status and established a "profit cap" department. The company can now accept investments and will provide investors with a 100x profit cap. The company's decision was likely driven by its desire to compete with big tech rivals like Google, for which it soon received a $1 billion investment from Microsoft. In a blog post announcing the launch of a for-profit company, OpenAI continued to use the same language we see today, declaring that its mission is to "ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all humanity." At that time, the media began to question-when the main goal of venture capitalists is to make a profit, it is difficult to believe that they can save mankind.
3.2023: Black-box OpenAI
Today, eight years later, OpenAI seems to have found a suitable commercialization path. But the price is to shed the "Open" feathers and expose users and developers to an opaque company. As many critics, including co-founder Musk, have pointed out, today's OpenAI is driven by speed and profit.
In addition, the previous work atmosphere of focusing on research no longer exists, because in the future, there will be plans to add some elements of automation at the expense of employees and reduce the application cost of the GPT model. Even though there are still many bugs to be fixed in the technology launched now, it is obvious that OpenAI can’t wait and wants to start swallowing up this wave of Chat market.
4. Written at the end
The famous poet Rabindranath Tagore has a poem: When a bird's wings are tied with gold, it can no longer fly freely.
Perhaps in the eyes of the public, since OpenAI has chosen "gold", it is best not to flaunt itself with "free flight".
The forged “open letter” at the beginning of the article is vivid evidence that OpenAI’s reputation has been damaged.

Choosing the embedding model that best fits your data: A comparison test of OpenAI and open source multi-language embeddings
Feb 26, 2024 pm 06:10 PM
OpenAI recently announced the launch of their latest generation embedding model embeddingv3, which they claim is the most performant embedding model with higher multi-language performance. This batch of models is divided into two types: the smaller text-embeddings-3-small and the more powerful and larger text-embeddings-3-large. Little information is disclosed about how these models are designed and trained, and the models are only accessible through paid APIs. So there have been many open source embedding models. But how do these open source models compare with the OpenAI closed source model? This article will empirically compare the performance of these new models with open source models. We plan to create a data
Posthumous work of the OpenAI Super Alignment Team: Two large models play a game, and the output becomes more understandable
Jul 19, 2024 am 01:29 AM
If the answer given by the AI model is incomprehensible at all, would you dare to use it? As machine learning systems are used in more important areas, it becomes increasingly important to demonstrate why we can trust their output, and when not to trust them. One possible way to gain trust in the output of a complex system is to require the system to produce an interpretation of its output that is readable to a human or another trusted system, that is, fully understandable to the point that any possible errors can be found. For example, to build trust in the judicial system, we require courts to provide clear and readable written opinions that explain and support their decisions. For large language models, we can also adopt a similar approach. However, when taking this approach, ensure that the language model generates

Sudden! OpenAI fires Ilya ally for suspected information leakage
Apr 15, 2024 am 09:01 AM
Sudden! OpenAI fired people, the reason: suspected information leakage. One is Leopold Aschenbrenner, an ally of the missing chief scientist Ilya and a core member of the Superalignment team. The other person is not simple either. He is Pavel Izmailov, a researcher on the LLM inference team, who also worked on the super alignment team. It's unclear exactly what information the two men leaked. After the news was exposed, many netizens expressed "quite shocked": I saw Aschenbrenner's post not long ago and felt that he was on the rise in his career. I didn't expect such a change. Some netizens in the picture think: OpenAI lost Aschenbrenner, I
