Everyone knows he was talking about The United States of America. It's the only country with America in its name. Also, "United States" would be just as ambiguous by your logic considering there has been multiple countries wi

A guy was arrested for a joke he posted on social media about Charlie Kirk. He spent some time in jail but ended up winning a lawsuit. So the answer isn't exactly 0 in the US

> advocating for an outright ban on politics is extremely appropriate This line of thinking makes no sense. If you got your way no one could comment anything critical of Trump or other world leaders. Anytime a new tariff is announced or

I use GLM or DS4 to help me draft a better initial prompt with more information that I then give to Sonnet 5/Fable/GPT5.5. While benchmarks show the open models close to frontier level, my experience with them is drastically diffe

> Having the choice between 3 European countries is already a lot better than giving all the data to the US. The US has been a lot more hostile to European countries than "the intersection of hostility from France/Germany/

Sure for a German company in Germany that's perfectly reasonable, but we're not talking about each country in Europe having their own copy of AWS/Stripe/Search. In reality all the data will be in France/Germany&#x2F

I have no love for Meta, but what about tiktok and youtube? What social media doesn't attempt to keep its users engaged?

The default stance should be that nothing you do is private on the internet. If we're talking spying then no service in any country will be secure unless fully encrypted with audits. Any country with an intelligence agency can force co

I honestly don't care. I just push back on some of this rhetoric by challenging those who say this to actually practice what they preach.

Why don't you stop using American sites and services now then? I see comments like this a lot but no one wants to be personally inconvenienced to stop using hn/youtube/reddit/whatever.

It's a little too later for export controls. Chinese models have made massive gains through legitimate research but also being trained on billions of tokens from Claude/GPT. The politicians have no idea how to stop that from happe

Why? You talk as if you've been victimized by America. I completely understand the desire for privacy and digital sovereignty, but you're talking about escalating into a full out economic war with the US. Meanwhile you personally

It would run so slow it would be functionally unusable or at such a low quant that it wouldn't be useful for serious work.

You'd need to multiply that $10k by 8 minimum.

At some point AI models will become too valuable for China or the US to release openly. What will the "world" do at that point? Europe is dragging their feet on this issue and will be left with only those open models and not enoug

Europe has to play both sides for now. There will come a point where both China and the US close off access to the best models. And then what does the EU do?

It's probably too late, but my understanding is that those Chinese models would be nowhere near as good as they are currently if they weren't trained on billions of Claude/GPT tokens. Anthropic and OpenAI are still able to pr

Define leading then. Mythos and GPT score higher on all the benchmarks versus Chinese models. I suppose your anti-american mindset has given you a different definition of leading than the rest of us.

Both China and the US can compel businesses to hand over data. There is no reason to trust any service that doesn't have strong built in privacy.
