ok快讯 reported on November 25 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in an interview with Tencent News “Qianwang” that OpenAI has now become CloseAI. Today, another problem has emerged: First, they sacrificed their open source for security; then this year, they sacrificed their security for profit. Last year, the company and the board of directors clashed, and after the conflict, it seemed that Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) won. Recently, they announced that they would change from a non-profit to a for-profit company, and reduce the power of the board of directors – it can be said to be reduced to the level of advisors. This makes me more worried. This reminds me of a saying of a founding father in the United States: You cannot sacrifice freedom for security. If you do this, you will find that you will have neither security nor freedom. Looking at OpenAI’s behavior, it seems that this has happened.
In addition, regarding the field of crypto, Vitalik said that one of the problems in the field of crypto in the past five years is that everyone’s dreams and hopes are high, but technology cannot achieve most of the dreams. Regarding how Crypto can save the world, the first possibility is Crypto + Decentralized AI; the second possibility is Crypto + a technology that can replace AI. To a certain extent, the prosperity of artificial intelligence in the past two years will cool down Crypto. I have a worry: if the particularly intelligent people do not do Crypto, the people who stay in the field of Crypto may not have any interesting ideas, and the only application is the financial application that everyone has been doing for many years. This will become a situation – issue a coin, make an exchange; issue another coin, make an exchange; issue another coin, and this coin has a cute dog on it – these things are fun, but if they are the only ones in our industry, then this industry is a failure. The challenge facing our industry is to make an application that is meaningful and that many people like to participate in. However, this year, the power of Crypto has increased a lot, and many developers have begun to want to make some applications that are meaningful and that many users like to participate in. If the field of Crypto continues to succeed, many people will still choose to participate in Crypto.
