A repost arguing that AI should remain open:
- It points to Attention Is All You Need as open research that helped trigger the transformer era.
- It says today’s LLMs were built on humanity’s collective books, code, art, and science.
- The post frames the current distillation debate as labs accusing each other of “cheating on the exam,” while warning against closing innovation behind closed doors.
- The closing message is simple: knowledge sharing is what advances civilization, so openness should remain the default.
