Futile appeal:
Mythos should not be re-launched. It should be open sourced.
If it was, that would mark the beginning of an era of unfathomable progress and prosperity to humanity that would make EVERYONE richer, including those at big labs, and the US.
I spent the last hour writing a 10 paragraph long text explaining why that's the case and addressing every single point and counter-argument to it, like security, business, in ways I know to be true, even though hard to see - but I deleted because it became massive and obviously the people that matter would never read it, let alone have a slim chance of being convinced, given that's the extreme opposite of everything they believe.
But that is a shame, because there's no overstating to how much our species would benefit if that was true. Things would change in ways seemingly nobody alive understands, particularly these who should. I suppose our monkey brains are just not smart enough to see the right cards to play, and, as a civilization, we all lose. Imagine if aliens species found an infinitely deep oil pit, and used it ALL as a hair moisturizer. We'd laugh at them, wouldn't we? Well, that's us with LLMs, right now.
tl;dr way too many people alive today trading a ticket to Mars for a shiny green umber in their phones, and they don't even know that :(
