A monopolar or bipolar world of frontier models is a very dangerous world for humans. This is why open-source is so important - we need a rich diversity of models that reflect the richness of human variation and let us all find the model that is best for each of us. Also why so important that @grok is focused on objective truth above all else. Objective truth is just that: objective. What is “best for humanity” is subjective.
