Preemption lobbying

Latest comment: 3 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I searched for "ai preemption" and found numerous news articles from within the last two weeks on the lobbying efforts to formulate federal regulation in place of state regulation, including this Politico article that briefly covers OpenAI. This Bloomberg Law article from March seems to suggest that OpenAI played an active role in raising this discussion. I'm not sure where this content would fit, or if it's substantial enough to include. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 12:17, 20 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Maybe notable enough for a sentence? I suggest adding this sentence just before the subsection "Stance on China", sourced with the Bloomberg Law article:

In March 2025, OpenAI made a policy proposal for the Trump administration to preempt state laws with federal laws. Alenoach (talk) 19:27, 20 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

A related paragraph has been developed in Regulation of artificial intelligence. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 12:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Split proposal

Latest comment: 2 months ago5 comments2 people in discussion

@WeyerStudentOfAgrippa Regarding the split proposal of the "Products and applications", personally, I'm slightly opposed because I think this section is important. I would prefer a split of the "History" section. Perhaps there could also one day be a split of the article between the nonprofit and the for-profit, although that would be more complex to implement. Alenoach (talk) 16:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Both sections are important. However, the full product listing includes early and technical projects that are less generally notable. A summarized section could remain here. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The current prose size is 9415 words, and it keeps getting longer. Something should probably be reorganized. Multiple sections could be shortened, but planning which new articles to create may be helpful. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 12:36, 13 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

If you see a good way to implement the split of the "Products and applications" section, you can do it. Alenoach (talk) 00:17, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I implemented the split. The products section here can still be expanded and reorganized. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 13:11, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Capitalization of GPT-OSS

Latest comment: 25 days ago4 comments3 people in discussion

@Alenoach: Regarding Special:Diff/1304556696, the style guideline MOS:TMCAPS states, For trademarks, editors should choose among styles already in common use (not invent new ones) and, among those, use the style that most closely resembles standard English text formatting and capitalization rules. As GPT-OSS is an acronym and has been capitalized as such in reliable sources, it is to be capitalized on Wikipedia, per MOS:CAPSACRS. (Even if you were to consider the product name a non-acronym, it should still be spelled as a proper noun, i.e. Gpt-oss, and not in full lowercase.) — Newslinger talk 19:57, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

MOS:TMCAPS: "For trademarks that are given in mixed or non-capitalization by their owners (such as adidas), follow the formatting and capitalization used by independent reliable sources. When sources are mixed, follow the standard formatting and capitalization used for proper names (in this case, as in most, Adidas)."

The official term "gpt-oss" seems more frequent in reliable sources, but one can reasonably consider that the "sources are mixed" and use "GPT-OSS". I would appreciate the opinion of a third editor on this, but I won't mind if you switch back to "GPT-OSS" in the meantime. Alenoach (talk) 20:53, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

The third opinion sounds like a good idea, so I've listed this discussion at WP:3O § Active disagreements. The capitalization is really not a big deal to me, but whatever we settle on should be applied consistently in related articles such as Products and applications of OpenAI and List of large language models. — Newslinger talk 08:40, 7 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Given that allcap GPT is pretty universal across the AI/LMM world, including most of the readily-available online information, and that sources are certainly mixed in my lay-person's review, I think the capitalized version is preferable here. Also, having spent too much time perusing AN/I lately, it sure is good to see rational consensus building; I hope I helped. ☣︎ Hiobazard ☣︎ 14:31, 7 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
