why are chinese models a consideration at all?
- idiotsecant 2mo agoParent post is saying there was no community of peer models, just some people figuring it out as they went and with lots of slack to go slow if they wanted
- alightsoul 2mo agoOh it's the typical china race thing, we can't let the antithesis of the us be better than the us etc. American exceptionalism
- idiotsecant 2mo agoThe 'china' part is irrelevant. You're addicted to being mad. Parent post is just saying there were no other players
- alightsoul 2mo agoThere were other players, china included, but it wasn't relevant until LLMs became profitable? China is being singled out as usual because it's the antithesis of the us
- hansvm 2mo agoBut... there weren't. The other "players," China included, had duck all to show for it. Did they have the same potential capabilities? Sure, maybe. It wasn't just a profitability thing though. Their models sucked. China is being singled out in that comment because their models are exceptional, with very few competitors, so when you're talking about a history of the competition not being any good you _have_ to acknowledge one of the only good present-day models.
