This sounds like someone has swallowed too many sci-fi novels. Both the US and China can already nuke each other, they don't need AGI to that. The reason they don't is because it's war is bad for everyone involved.

Codeberg market themselves as not just a host but a community, so mass banning projects that didn't do anything wrong and were previously operating within the rules feels more like rejection from a community rather than a business deci

This might work if Chinese models are on par with US models or slightly worse. However if Chinese models start to become noticeably better[0] than US models, it will be hard to hold the line and businesses would start risking using illegal

It's probably too slow for them. Anthropic and OpenAI need Chinese models banned soon to stay in business. The moment China has the most capable model it's game over for them. They're spending vast amounts of money on the pre

Banning projects that haven't done anything wrong except implement algorithms that the Karen committee disagrees with is clearly an attack. If they want to ban scammers then why don't they just ban scammers instead of a blanket po

Pretending to run an inclusive git hosting service for FOSS and then attacking your own users because their code is the wrong type of algorithm isn't politics, it's just being an asshole.

This doesn't solve the problem. The whole point of uBO is that it plays the cat and mouse game between adblocking and anti-adblocking. If you are OK with sites blocking you when you use an adblocker then there's a multitude of oth

If a model can improve at drawing "X doing Y" and that prompt wasn't in the training set then it means it has improved its internal mapping from text-to-spatial-to-text.

This seems like something that could be solved by asking an LLM to write the prompt for the image model. You can also feed in the output of an image model into an LLM and ask it to check it/make improvements.

Type stripping is not the same as emit, it only gets you a subset of TypeScript. Fine if you're running your own code, not fine if you want to run arbitrary TypeScript.

Indeed as much I dislike the approach Bun took, at least the port appears to be working. TS7 is going to cause problems for downstream users because Go is the wrong language to use for something that has to run in WASM.

It's insane to cross Apple. In the worst case Apple could take the ChatGPT app down like they did to Fortnite. They are probably waiting for discovery to find out how high this goes.

If Chinese AI companies can train a model that's slightly worse than the frontier, then there's no reason why they can't train a model that is slightly better than the frontier. Everybody can agree that K3 doesn't clearl
