Stability AI and the idea of open AI, was exactly that for us to get the most use out of artificial intelligence. It absolutely has to be open as opposed to closed because how presumptuous would it be on our part to believe that we could know every use case for such a powerful technology? I'm very much of the opinion that if we want to build the human colossus, it's going to include AI and the best one is going to be open. We've been in this era of big data where they harvest everything about you to extrapolate for the financial followers there. But these models are a lot more resonant in convincing and they should be both understandable and available
