Some would argue that it allows for cutting edge research that could potentially massively benefit humanity. Whether or not that pans out is to be determined, but that is the stated goal. The point then, as advocates for this technology believe is for the betterment of civilization, that by training a neural network on this knowledge will make that knowledge more accessible to the rest of us.

One could of course debate whether or not OpenAI would be the best stewards of that knowledge or aligned with the best interests of humanity. However, it is important to recognize that building a successful business is key to funding the research, H100s aren't cheap. It's also important to note that as with all things tech, price of hardware will go down, and OSS models continue to get more capable every week.
