Comment Platonic Representation Hypothesis (Score 1) 7
The problem with this, is that all models will converge on the same representation, given that they are model causal relationships. Even models trained on text, and trained on images initially, will converge on the same representation if you add additional modalities in. This is really just a money grab by Oracle who thinks that model weights are intellectual property, despite the fact that they don't have a human author and are not copyrightable or patentable, because Oracle's business model isn't innovation but rent seeking, as they have demonstrated many times in the past.
