"public benefit".. Ah, they are so good. May be they will _open_ something after all.. ;)


yeah, LOL on that. Their idea of "public benefit" is of course that they benefit publicly, though for marketing purposes "public benefit" sounds nicer (just like the "Open" in "ClosedAI") because people would tend to emotionally associate something nicer with it.

Reminds me of the (possibly LLM-generated) marketing tirade of a voice faking text-to-speech service recently here on hn, which ended with: "We are thrilled to be sharing our new model, and look forward to feedback!":

… "share" yeah right… like: where can I download the model then? Of course they didn't mean to actually share their model but only to rent out remote access to it, but that doesn't sound as nice as "share".
