“China can draw on a talent pool of 1.3 billion people, but the United States can draw on a talent pool of 7 billion and recombine them in a diverse culture that enhances creativity in a way that ethnic Han nationalism cannot.”
– Lee Kuan Yew
If anything, the repressed and defensive China of Xi Jinping is falling ever further behind.
I didn’t know it was already settled law. But in that case, why are models like llama still released under licenses? If they are non-copyrightable, licenses should be unenforceable and therefore irrelevant.
Agreed. I would also argue that trained model weights are not copyrightable.
I want to like Palworld, but I don’t know if I can support running existing Pokemon through a fusor and passing them off as ‘new’ IP
Imagine being morally outraged on behalf of a multibillion dollar corporate behemoth.
Problem is, there isn’t a way to open up the black boxes. It’s the AI explainability problem. Even if you have the model weights, you can’t predict what they will do without running the model, and you can’t definitively verify that the model was trained as the model maker claimed.
Liability. Imagine an AI girlfriend who slowly earns your affection, then at some point manipulates you into sending bitcoins to a prespecified wallet set up by the model maker. Because models are black boxes, there is no way to verify by direct inspection that an AI hasn’t been trained with an ulterior agenda (the “execute order 66” problem).
Thought this was about Valve’s Artifact TCG, and was like “wait, didn’t they already shut that down?”
didn’t take off until Tesla built a Gigafactory to supply their batteries
BYD doesn’t rely on Tesla to supply their batteries. It’s the other way round: BYD started out as a battery company, and Tesla relies on their batteries in Shanghai, Germany, and other factories. Tesla originally used batteries from CATL, another Chinese company, but started switching to BYD a few years ago.
“EV winter” is a silly framing. Many Chinese EV companies are on a roll, with BYD just surpassing Tesla in EV shipments in the last quarter. EVs are now mainstream in China and the car markets in other countries won’t be far behind. Obviously, Tesla faces more challenges from the fact that it no longer has the market to itself, but competition is a good thing.
Pretty bad article, but here are my two cents on the actual answer, as of right now:
These perform similar to or better than ChatGPT 3.5, in some cases comparable to 4.
For specific niche applications (role playing, nsfw stories, etc), just search on huggingface.co and read the user reviews.
Perovskites are the solar tech of the future, and they always will be.
Google allows Brave to run ads, so by using Google you’re promoting homophobia… Microsoft allows Brave to run Windows, so by using any Microsoft product you’re promoting homophobia…
Maybe that would finally get them to stop using fax machines.
3200 images is 0.001% of the dataset in question, obviously sucked in by mistake. The problematic images ought to be removed from the dataset, but this does not “contaminate” models trained on the dataset in any plausible way.

Let’s not nickel-and-dime the green transition. Nuclear energy has a role to play, and so do renewables. The most urgent thing now is to get as much electricity generation off fossil fuels as possible. Building nuclear power plants is an important part of this, especially in countries like China and India which would otherwise default to burning coal.
They don’t have to worry, because the Buy American provisions in recent legislation (passed under both Trump and Biden) protects them from competition by more fuel efficient foreign competitors.
Nuclear fusion isn’t the solution to the climate crisis. It’s decades away, if it ever happens; the climate crisis is something we’re having to tackle now.
Mistral 7B and deepseek-ai are two open-weight models that surpass 3.5, though not 4, on several measures.
Also, most of the people in this movement aren’t even vegan. Isn’t that completely disqualifying?!?
