There's no doubt in my mind that they set up the conditions for their models to escape the sandboxes. "haha oops our incredibly powerful models escaped we need 1 trillion more dollars and really this is yet another reason why no o

They’re doing the meme. “China is building solar panels/cleaning the environment/building EVs/planting forests/commodifying caviar/releasing high quality AI models for free, But At What Cost?”

The agents write much better commit messages than me, at least. They also write better PR descriptions. At work we have a PR authoring skill and we’ve included an instruction for it to write a reviewer guide that tells the most logical way

And what is their nefarious plan after we get "addicted to cheap shit"?

They may reverse course in the future, but the current directive from the CPC is that Chinese AI labs should be open sourcing their models. https://www.businessinsider.com/xi-jinping-open-source-ai-us...

I would bet that Deepseek API pricing is still more cost effective per token than the subscriptions. With the increase in quality Deepseek Flash just got (in my personal testing so far, it seems to have improved a lot at following instructi

Fair use? Anthropic does not own the copyright to the output of their LLMs. Fair use does not enter into it at all.

They should sue Anthropic for this distillation attack

by VulgarExigency 3mo ago
But distillation is not theft. They are paying for the usage of the API. It is also not copyright infringement, as AI companies do not hold the copyright for the output of their models.

The same people who say there is a Uyghur genocide are the ones who deny there is a Palestinian genocide. Guess which one there's video evidence of (a horrific, endless amount of evidence).

Why? Should we be held hostage to the whims of these companies and all the investors in the throes of AI psychosis, and let them do whatever the fuck they want, because if we don't then the economy will crash?

The model that is most optimized around token cost is, in fact, Chinese. DeepSeek is astoundingly cheap by default, but if you use it from Reasonix (the harness optimized around its cache), it becomes even cheaper.

by VulgarExigency 3mo ago
In my opinion, for the vast majority of use cases, DeepSeek is still the most cost-effective model by a mile. $10 feels like it lasts forever.

I typed it. I'm afraid my biological neural network has been trained by reading too many chains-of-thought. I might have added an extra 0 by accident, I didn't double check, but that just makes it more AI-like, really.

The user is asking me to calculate how much money they should charge their customer. The values they've given me are 0.45, 1.67, and 2.50. This is 2.50 + 1.67 + 0.45 = 4.62, but it could be any other number. Perhaps we should be conca
