yup I am dead certain that they realized the whole 'our AI is too dangerous' punchline is too played out and they needed something that makes actual splash. Also this incident would serve as a foundation to ban open-weight models

even before that, by some accounts I hear the reason VCs over invested in dot com was primarily because they saw something that could not easily usurped by Microsoft by releasing their own sh*tty copy. so they all piled in and then bubble d

I actually think Chinese models have already popped the bubble, we just dont see it yet. the only way to justify AI IPO market cap is basically if they get to hold most sw industry code hostage and then token-flate budgets to collect AI tax

SSS works pretty well. IIRC somebody in bitcoin community started using this for storing private keys using 3/5 schema. they basically divide the secret keys into 5 parts out of which you only need 3 to recover original private key. ID

the biggest red flag I see is this: https://youtu.be/iOyFja87uyw?si=5INnIG1kZI0AbCGa tldr: they are trying hard to change S&P500 inclusion rules so that they dont have to wait 12months after going public so they can lis
