>Yet firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI pay millions in salaries to top talent. Why? Can’t others just study the papers and replicate?
That argument doesn't make any sense.
AI companies are not trying to "replicate".
Measuring research against your ability to just "replicate" a business also makes no sense.
The actual implications remain unclear to me. Any public goods also require some culture to benefit the people, don't they?
