@bagder This is what happens when there is competition where there should be cooperation. AI research and development could be, _should_ be a collaborative project, not owned by anybody and open to everybody, but instead it's a bunch of corporations trying to outrun each other.
The Tragedy of the Commons only exists when there is competition instead of cooperation. Competition is how we ruin everything by trying to grab it all before anybody else does. Cooperation is how we can give everybody whatever they need for free and still have enough for all of us.
Why train so many machine learning models that aren't all that different, which are owned and run by private enterprises, when we could instead train much fewer models that aren't owned by anybody and can be used for free?
