Aaron Mak, Slate; When Is Technology Too Dangerous to Release to the Public?
"The announcement has also sparked a debate about how to handle the proliferation of potentially dangerous A.I. algorithms...
It’s worth considering, as OpenAI seems to be encouraging us to do, how 
researchers and society in general should approach powerful A.I. models...
Nevertheless, OpenAI said that it would only be publishing a “much 
smaller version” of the model due to concerns that it could be abused. 
The blog post fretted that it could be used to generate false news 
articles, impersonate people online, and generally flood the internet 
with spam and vitriol...  
“There’s a general philosophy that when the time has come for some 
scientific progress to happen, you really can’t stop it,” says 
[Robert] Frederking [the principal systems scientist at Carnegie Mellon’s Language Technologies Institute]. “You just need to figure out how you’re going to deal with 
it.”"
