- applicative 3mo agoThe headline from 7 years ago has not borne out; Africa is a minor supplier. The point is quite different: that everyone is harmed by advanced open weight agentic models even as we are benefited by them. This holds of African states as of any other. Many of them, by the way, are under attack from well-funded moderately insane groups like JNIM. Also by the way, groups like this are famously really good at recruiting the specific psychical type of the engineer. It is not possible that releasing open weights will continue forever, or probably even to the end of the year.
