Ironic if this was done to try to remove a monopolistic entity controlling AI and to slow things down.

Because now a monopolistic company has what it needs to control AI and accelerate in whatever direction it likes, regardless of any decel/EA feelings.

Yes, some of this know-how will fall over the industry and other labs, but few places in the world can offer the big fat checks Microsoft will offer these people. Possibly NVIDIA, Meta and Google and a few more, but many of them are former employees of those firms to begin with. Google in particular, has been expelling any really ambitious AI people for a while.

Watching corpos wrestle for control of the largest AI company reminds us that we need to find a way to permanently open source AI.

We cannot allow the most important piece of technology for this century to rest in the hands of a cabal of clumsy sociopaths.

I hope in the next couple of years we see decentralized training for big models or some breakthroughs that allow smaller models to outperform larger ones. Or both. Without such advances, the outcome is going to be extremely cyberpunk.
