What has been closed? Every day there's new foundational models being released. It's exhausting trying to keep up with the pace of change - Alpaca, Vicuna, LLaMA, etc. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a truly open source foundational model with performance equivalent to OpenAI's GPT-4 by the end of the year.
Any move to limit fair-use and scraping of publicly available information through copyright laws, no matter how good of a reason it is, gives more power to the biggest companies.
