What is wrong about injecting millions into developing nations? The rest I agree with, although I don't think it was ever really 'open' so its not getting shitty, it always was. Thankfully, "there is no moat" and other LLMs will be open, just a few months behind OpenAI

Please don't try to reframe this to make exploitation a positive thing. See my other comment here.

So you'd rather OpenAI crush all business in the area by outcompeting them for workers, ensuring local businesses struggle to hire?
