They need to be testing these models with non American testers in their qualitative tests (not just end user A/B testing). Anyone who has worked in professional settings with Americans knows that sycophancy is ingrained deeply in the c

Why is a brick and mortar retail store a useful frame of reference? You may as well compare it with the margin taken by my plumber or the loss factor in electricity supply lines. It's utterly irrelevant as a frame of reference. You rea

Don't tell me what I can't do, you don't get to decide what non-Americans don't do. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the logic that Americans voted for this man. The insane left wing in your country bears as mu

You couldn't pay me to use Chinese LLMs, just like I wouldn't use Chinese search engines. I'm not here to be influenced by an anti-liberal west-hating regime. Sure USA sucks now but China is still absolutely The Bad Guy.

I'm not sure I trust this analysis, at least the gender breakdown. They don't say how they determine if a viewer is male or female, but they make the claim that 38% of viewers are female, and well over half in some markets - this
