Because without bigger players, Chinese models don't get anywhere. Playing catch-up is a radically different game.

Because the hegemony-ensuring machine will most certainly have "prevent others from competing for hegemony" as one of the basic tenets.

Suing is absurd as it would get nowhere, since this is China we are talking about. Now, preventing making business in the US based on those products? At this point it's hard to argue against.

Aggressive expansion of infrastructure, R&D and very volatile audiences.

I routinely get into blocks when running medicine-related material through it.

>My interests are best served with a competitive selection of open weights models available for my use. Which is why Chinese companies use people like you. Sorry for being blunt but if you think this policy would continue in a scenario

You've got perfectly reasonable and predictable scenarios if you read the post. CoC drama is already a much too known vector of problems, this adds fuel to possible fires.

>fear-mongering about how legitimate projects will be removed next. Fear-mongering? What were legitimate projects are getting removed already. This is not fear-mongering, it's just not being incredibly shortsighted.

Well, for starters, banning content that is already present on the platform is a very aggressive measure. You are, in practice, kicking people out, and it's perfectly reasonable for those people to be upset at either Codeberg or its co

Yes they only care about money. That's what corporations usually do. And I'll take that 10 times out of 10 over China's role in all of this, which is specifically to disrupt and sabotage the rest. I can trust Anthropic and Op

Yet handles are not shaped like hands. The speakers I use on my computer don't look anything like a mouth, nor does the microphone I use on calls look like a set of ears. Ultimately I guess this is up to opinion, but in mine, humanizin

Would you bet money that they won't be good enough for coding in, say, one year? Just as a call to actual consideration, would that seem a smart bet to do? Because I find it really hard to justify dismissal at this point, sure I don&#x

Yes, it damages its image, this is further made evident given the amount of propaganda that follows each time. Why would you invest in claude or codex if you just read how China's stuff is better?

China is known to spread love and kindness through markets with no self-interest, after all.

It baffles me how this can be said without concern for first order consequences.

It's a complex feeling, really. I've got a friend, I'll call him Bob, mostly because Bob is nowhere near his real name and I'm about to say some not very flattering things about him. He is my friend and not my job collea

I agree that files aren't sacred, they are just another abstraction at the end of the day, but what the other user (I think) is referring to is the trend in which, as smartphone use becomes ubiquitous, users lose sight of the technical

What exactly is there to get used to? Do people really use each model very differently? There's a learning curve as in everything, but there is nothing that comes to mind for me when I use codex as opposed to claude

Hilarious response to concerns about industrial production, thanks for getting us here.

I'm not sure that's quite right, the pendulum has swung to a degree, for sure, but I find it evident to argue that the place the pendulum was at was in the benefit of liberal elites, and rather than reversing, I can see how the op

Do you really not see to what degree you are proving his point here?

I suspect this happens a lot, and am unsure about what the first and second order consequences are. Most evidently, positions that are not paraded around face less backlash, so people are just not as equipped to deal with them. But then aga

Intelligence on its own is not very useful though. We put it on a pedestal because it creates huge potential when paired with other things, wisdom, discipline, empathy, but on its own?

No, just aesthetic trivia that can be paraded around to make them look good. Given how China behaves it should be evident that the only reason they don't apply military force is because they are not in position to. Not abusing military

>Conversely, I also am a user of LLMs (true shocker these days, I know), and am noticing a speedup in areas I was already familiar with, and a quicker introduction to new ones. The obvious benefit cannot be denied, and doing so regardles

But that's not anything new, and even in the same text you can see examples of that. LLMs are a tool. The brush is a tool, the pencil is a tool. The way we write already is defined by tools. This very comment is remarkably defined

I think it's a little bit naive to think they ignore the association. They know it perfectly well, which is why they are using it. Same thing with concentration camps, same thing with mentions of Gestapo.

I have lived abroad, yes. Does the USA make it easy to become a citizen? If the comparison is China, yes, a thousand times yes. Does language and society matter a truckload? Absolutely. >Short of that, there is a wide spectrum on how cou
