Look at how far OpenAI has drifted from their original mission. Everything comes back to greed, so it's ideal for the world if selfish motives happen to coincide with what's good for the world, like advancements in open models

I don't understand what is interesting about it: it's the default.

Markets don't run on altruism.

It's a standard take since it is how markets tend to work. They aren't powered by altruism, it is a big system for turning greed into good results. We don't have all this stuff because people suddenly woke up one morning and decided to be nice.

Isn't it the entire basis of capitalism?

Could you explain? (asking in good faith)

I don't think so. I can confidently predict that altruism will give you a very unreliable income stream in the vast majority of cases.

Open-source is also altruistic. If DeepSeek does become self-serving once they get the top spot, it doesn’t take away from the altruistic contributions that they made towards open models.
