I’m entirely in agreement with this POV, but I’m also copacetic about it:

You could have said much the same about computers in the world dominated by IBM mainframes 60 years ago. Now we have vastly more powerful computers on our wrists (or our pacemakers!), let alone in our pockets or on our desks.

As far as my understanding goes the bottleneck for what you are talking about is hardware not software, so open source won't help that much for the foreseeable future.

> and you may think, man what a ridiculous example, but think about it this way: what happens when something like Mythos or some future model can actually solve your specific cancer (we're getting closer and closer), but is entirely impossible to afford? Or perhaps you need boosters that require the AI to create more of, and now you're reliant on a model that is too expensive.

Isn't that already the case with current care? Wealthy people get a standard of care poor people couldn't even dream of. Rich people live, temporarily embarrassed millionaires die.
