This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
You can't just round off everyone who wants to get credit for their work to closed-minded. There's a reason why we have patents, and it's to prevent what OpenAI is doing, and promote sharing information instead of hoarding it by allowing the "closed-minded" to control and benefit from the fruits of their labor.
Good people want rewards for good work. Calling them names doesn't get around that.
You are projecting.
"Closed-minded" is simply descriptive.
Patents and other IP law are state-enforced artificial scarcity on a medium that is inherently abundant and infinite (ideas and digital media). This is state-enforced closed-mindedness.
It may be useful in some limited carrot-dangling sense, but thank goodness that US law is not Universal Law
These "rewards" often come with the implied threat of state-violence if someone """steals""" their idea.
Taking glory-seeking and monopolistic tendencies out of the equation of innovation is a rare moment for cultural renewal. Maybe innovators in the US will finally have to focus on actually building things like China rather than becoming rent-seekers.
China is opening a port in Peru and releasing actually open ai models that the world uses while Americans get steamy at OpenAI for being too innovative.
Perhaps it is the karma that Openai bears for not being open enough.
Anthropic had their own internal leak moment that gave everyone a good idea of how their internal agentic-harness works. Perhaps some event will open OpenAI in a similar way.
