Funnily enough, OpenAI signed the open weights letter too.
Sam Altman would do literally anything, say anything to make OpenAI look good. He would sacrifice his grandmother if he could, and I’m not one to say that lightly.
Never has it been more clear what Capitalism is. It has fuckall to do with freedom and everything to do with sharecropping.
The current economic regime is less like “capitalism” and more like “feudalism with corporations.”
That depends on what you are calling Capitalism. I’m all for free markets and such, but Capitalism was never anti-feudal - first thing the Burghers did was marry their kids into Noble families. It was strictly about adding “man with enough money that he doesn’t work” to the protected class.
The rest of the world should restrict US AI
That’s not necessary: as the Open Weight AI models from the US are rather poor, nobody wants them anyway. 🤷
“Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!”
I get what you are saying, but its not just data egress, its how the model was trained. I’m thinking of models trained to inject security weaknesses, for example.
I see no reason US based AI companies would not carry the same risk especially with the well documented cases of groups like the NSA openly asking US technology companies to provide back doors.
For sure, that’s why I dont trust any of them. Its interesting because unlike open source, open weight models don’t tell you anything about what was included or excluded.
Using security as a convenient tool to sideline foreign competition is a slippery slope, especially from companies that built their own success on open research.
“Security” is the go-to excuse for every atrocity under capitalism.
And “the kids”.
The shovel maker disagrees. This gon be gud.gif 😂
