1. it comes from VCs philanthropy, who cares?
2. it wouldn't happen so who cares?
3. no, but models will be better, it'll be cheaper to do

It's not philanthropy if you do it expecting a payout.
or it will fail spectacularly (also not sure philanthropy is the correct term)
success and failure of anthropic are both good for open weight models
