I don't think people realize what a big deal it is that Stanford retrained a LLaMA model, into an instruction-following form, by **cheaply** fine-tuning it on inputs and outputs **from text-davinci-003**.
It means: If you allow any sufficiently wide-ranging access to your AI model, even by paid API, you're giving away your business crown jewels to competitors that can then nearly-clone your model without all the hard work you did to build up your own fine-tuning dataset. If you successfully enforce a restriction against commercializing an imitation trained on your I/O - a legal prospect that's never been tested, at this point - that means the competing checkpoints go up on bittorrent.
I'm not sure I can convey how much this is a brand new idiom of AI as a technology. Let's put it this way:
If you put a lot of work into tweaking the mask of the shoggoth, but then expose your masked shoggoth's API - or possibly just let anyone build up a big-enough database of Qs and As from your shoggoth - then anybody who's brute-forced a *core* *unmasked* shoggoth can gesture to *your* shoggoth and say to *their* shoggoth "look like that one", and poof you no longer have a competitive moat.
It's like the thing where if you let an unscrupulous potential competitor get a glimpse of your factory floor, they'll suddenly start producing a similar good - except that they just need a glimpse of the *inputs and outputs* of your factory. Because the kind of good you're producing is a kind of pseudointelligent gloop that gets sculpted; and it costs money and a simple process to produce the gloop, and separately more money and a complicated process to sculpt the gloop; but the raw gloop has enough pseudointelligence that it can stare at other gloop and imitate it.
In other words: The AI companies that make profits will be ones that either have a competitive moat not based on the capabilities of their model, OR those which don't expose the underlying inputs and outputs of their model to customers, OR can successfully sue any competitor that engages in shoggoth mask cloning.

Thanks to @foreverandaday for making it known the existence of https://bird.makeup, a fork of BirdsiteLIVE that uses the same back-end as Nitter(https://github.com/zedeus/nitter), which uses the hidden Twitter API. We do not wish to bypass the Twitter-allowed usage guidelines and have no guarantee Twitter will not axe hidden API access with tooling in the future, so if you would like to migrate to https://bird.makeup, which may last past the Feb 9 cut.
You know, bird.makeup is INCREDIBLE. Not only does it get past the Birdsite's API limits, it correctly mirrors threads, replies, retweets and quote tweets. I understand some large instances block it, and I feel doing so is as stupid as Birdsite's API blocks are. It's an amazing tool for bridging the gap for some of the people who haven't found their way here yet, but should. #birdmakeup

"Psychologists use "IQ" to politely put people & entire races in boxes with the label "idiots", and stick them there for a lifetime. They ruin people's careers and potentials. Politely. I call psychologists (& IQ mountebanks) idiots to their face. Not politely." - @nntaleb
@mekkaokereke It is important to understand that gender equality does not mean that men are giving up nice things. Patriarchy hurts majority of men as well, just in different ways. Many "male privileges" are upon closer examination no privileges at all.
Patriarhcal roles reserved for men are quite narrow and make their lives less safe and more lonely.
So because USDC = $1 is hardcoded inside Maker, the price gap of DAI<>USD will be the same as USD<>USDC even though only 30% of the collateral is USDC because it’s free to arb the difference by putting USDC inside it and printing DAI as if USDC = $1.
