too early to call a winner, though it is disappointing to see US withdrawal from open source. Still the main outcome of open source is distribution / diffusion of the idea, so it will inevitably mean US open source will come back, hopefully via some grass roots maniac, there will be a Linus-like character emerge at some point
- segmondy 1y agoi'm not calling a winner, i'm just saying that the chinese have caught up despite the embargo. google, openai & anthrophic have phenomenal models. i stopped using openai & anthropic after they called for open weight/source regulation. i use google because they offer gemma and i got a year gemini-pro subscription for free, use openai gpt-oss-120b since i can run it at home, and the only model i currently pay for is a chinese model.
- mixologist 1y agouser growth has slowed. the technology that should help users is only being pushed from the top, while users refuse to use it. openai pivoted to porn. does it really feel like they have a chance to recover all the expenses in the future? crypto grifters pivoted to ai and, same as last time, normal people don’t want to have anything to do with them. considering the amount of money burned on this garbage, i think we can at least declare a looser.
