"Open"Ai is still better than Google. Google is so closed they made a GPT-2.5 and got so scared they put the tech on a shelf.

I think Google's fears about releasing such technology too early will eventually be justified, but for the time being it's an open question.

Maybe "move fast and break things" shouldn't apply to every aspect of tech.

Thinking that google’s decision to not release their tech until forced to by competition was based on morals and not based on keeping secret the tech that could topple their dominant market position is pretty generous.

If Google thought that they would have disclosed that to their shareholders which would have demanded a tripling on their investments, wouldn't they?

Google is still the leading research firm in the world when it comes to AI. They release almost 3x more research papers on AI than the next firm. Almost every major advancement in AI over the last decade can be trace back to Google, including the one that made GPT possible.

Yes but they have huge system of that kind that they use internally on user data.

We are all spied on and Google is the biggest player. The government let them get away with their monopoly on the market as long as they have a hand inside of the spying machine, win-win.

Google neither calls itself Open nor does the motto "Dont be evil" still apply.

Disappointing but honest.
