Can't wait to have half the internet's auth sessions die because of an outage

Fundamental Science is responsible for most of the money being generated today, Einstein…

It was in reaction to the possible threat of main actors restricting use. The latest US gov stunt with Fable just made it concrete and pressing.

Nemotron still has partial closed data. Having multiple models to chose from is a good thing

I don't know, I'm implementing a translation system right now, and Apertus is very good for the model size. I wished they added some chain of thought training to increase precision and context understanding.

You're talking like it's business as usual. None of these companies had anything similar to this retaliation

Those energy conglomerates are really desperate for public money aren't they? Sorry guys, solar and wind are cheaper

we said the same thing about their home grown GPU datacenter, and look at them now, with multiple facilities 10 years sooner then we thought possible.

Better framing indeed, I agree. Not sure this was a predictable outcome though, the sheer stupidity of defunding existing science projects based on politics is mind boggling. How do you hedge against capricious self sabotage like this?

This is a fictitious scenario invented to make the conservatives the victims… when they are the ones in power, killing the science. No amount of mental gymnastics trumps that fact

lol, are you implying science is dying because, you believe, less and less scientists are “conservative”. Do you have any notion of how ridiculous that sounds?

No this is, again, just the front facing uses that people fixate on. The most lucrative uses should be in fintec, just by the shear volumes of cash there

On a personal level, ditto. But at a business level, this kind of uncertainty will kill you. You need to be able to plan ahead.

No this is just the ones people understand. An AI that folds proteins for you is world altering, it’s just not as sexy as “killer drone”.

You can run the Chinese models on your infra, most are open weights. Not saying it’s out of the goodness of their heart, but the fact is, they’re open.

People don’t even know what it is, they think it’s chat bots. Useless statistic. In the meantime, AI has given scientists 20 years of incredible tools, from which we now reap the fruits in our daily lives

No this is a pretext, nobody who is following the matter of their feud with Hegseth. Trump tweeted they’ll regret it. Textbook retaliation

Then the US will publish their own open weights to outmanoeuvre china. What’s intolerable is having a tool that’s subject to this risk. So open models it is

Ah yes, giving cybersecurity a 3 month advance is such a horrible thing to do!! Bad anthropic

The brain drain goes in the other direction champ. Scientists and engineers are already leaving the US en masse because of the current situation

You guys are going to have to find another argument because this is just stupid. Being singled out doesn’t equate to regulation being applied. The story is: anthropic refuses to give the US give an abliterated version of Claude for their we

Yep, any American closed model is now a de facto existential risk for any company relying on them. The latest open models are so good it’s worth the 6-8 months delayed capabilities. At least for coding

Yeah if you ignore the fact the Us government retaliating about Anthropic not wanting their AIs in weapons systems.

This is counterproductive, you can't reduce eloquence to a list of examples. Read good literature is still the best advise we can give here.

Open models will catch up eventually, TOTL models will get distilled into smaller, more efficient versions, it’s not something you can moat indefinitely

Again, hyperbole and assumption of evil intent because… they take precautions? Nice prose doesn’t dispense you from forming a sound hypothesis

Well, force is a strong word… it’s still just accords, that the US doesn’t seem to be valuing lately… so if they say no, what’s the US going to do? Start a war over a company?

That part just sounds like hyperbole at best, conspiracy at worst. By that logic, anybody who values safety has a god complex? It’s absurd…
