> Americans, don't give a rat's ass about Ukraine It's both untrue and unfair. Americans do care, the current administration doesn't. Even among Republicans those who are opposed to helping Ukraine are in minority.

Not ethically superior yet, but for sure more stable. If your partner is unstable, it's difficult to do anything as they can basically change their opinions overnight.

It is extremely difficult because you not only need to do it on a per-country level, but globally. Otherwise you just punish foreign companies that genuinely invest in a country with stricter tax laws (and most will just choose another coun

Except the "comically" part (what does even mean? I'd call it "sad" if anything) I agree with you. You had (1) strong marketing and (2) lack of choice on one side, and a few tech folks that were expressing their con

The "fascist" party (I believe you mean AfD), just like almost all far-right parties in Europe (Front National etc.) is very much pro-Putin so they will sell Ukraine at the first occasion.

I know this is subjective but he is comparing GPT-4 to 4o. The new model definitely felt lighter and faster, so probably cheaper for them to maintain, but at the same time very often gave worse answers than GPT-4.

Because Meta called them in this way to differentiate themselves from "Open"AI and everyone else followed the suit.

I'd love to hear something positive about the current Altman, too. Anything would be good.

Ouch that seems very bad.

It seems to make sense but when you look at the dynamics of it, if you legally lock organizations in this way, the Americans will be the only one using expensive models and the rest of the world would be using cheap Chinese models. This wou

I've checked a few shampoos i have at home and fortunately none of them had it (they had SLES which has its own problems but seems benign in comparison).

If I understand their strategy, it's to limit the use of LLMs to American-based companies, by saying that it is dangerous (when used remotely) and illigal (when using remote models). So they strive to make it so that all American compa

Did the creators actually say so? I'd rather expect them to train on pirated books just like OpenAI and Meta.

Not only that, I also enjoy their chain of thought being completely transparent for the user. I'm very curious what Altman is doing right now...

The point is, the amount of mutilation done to models released by OpenAI and co. is enormous. So I very much hoped a Chinese model would be much more free from all this kind of BS. But when I think deeper about it, they actually had no choi

One thing that I regret is that these Chinese models are still heavily censored. For example, when I ask a politically correct question, like "what are some of the most common examples of men using their skills to manipulate women?&quo

Of course they are overhyped but in spite of this Altman is always asking for more money. And we know financially they are just burning money. So when someone finally brings a cheap but good model for the masses, this is where money should

Whoah, that's incredible! I remember a year ago I was hoping that in a decade from now it would be great to run GPT4-class models on my own hardware. The reality seems to be far more exciting.

Even that would be a wrong conclusion. I'm not sure all people who voted for the current POTUS are happy with higher pricing of diabetes drugs, forced RTO and other nonsense. Maybe some do, but for sure not all.

The "remove remote-first language" is shaping reality just in front of our eyes. This is a huge step backwards for employees rights and I hope the next presidents reverts this incompetent decision.
