  • I applaud the open source Chinese makers. They might be “distilling” from the closed weights models of competitors but since they themselves pillage the internet with no oversight in my book that’s fine. In some way the Deepseek, minimax and kimi makers are forcing the weights of bigger proprietary open.

    Right now on OpenRouter a large part of the processing goes to Deepseek. Deepseek is still weaker than the Claude “frontier” models but they are way cheaper. Since they are open weights anybody can compete as providers and the cost stays “low”. These AI Chinese makers are a constant threat to the american proprietary models and that’s a great thing for the consumers.













  • I disagree I think the fact the boss of wikimedia is very well paid and that he is benefiting at the end of day from free labor.

    They could reward/pay the most important contributors and they don’t. Yes it’s voluntary but it’s also a comparatively very “” small “” group of people that write a big chunk of wikipedia.

    I absolutely can’t stand that the boss of such utility service as wikipedia thinks first about his salary rather than rewarding their contributors.

    Also you say this is not a problem but I’m sure the Union would have pointed out the same thing I just did.

    That’s not the problem, 'tho. Wikipedia is volunteer-written and needs money to pay for the SW development and the servers.

    Also you are missing an important point if you just say “hey they are volunteers, they choose to work for free”. It’s not like that because as I said it’s a few contributors that do the bast majority of article edits.

    I’m wasting my time if you think that wikimedia has one problem and that’s it. Multiple problems that would need to be adressed by a Union.



  • Wow

    My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—build AI models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and use them to achieve permanent military superiority or perpetrate incredibly deep repression of their own people.

    What is that shit?

    Truly this is an insane take coming from an American company. Really batshit crazy.

    Imagine the dread for Europeans to see these powerful countries obsessed at weaponizing their AI. Open source model are not even part of that problem. Open source is usually the opposite end of the secrecy of weapon design and manufacturing.

    But no evil CCP bad can’t do their open weights AI but OpenAI can equip the military without any oversight.

    I hope the American imperium will crumble and fall. They created so much fucking suffering for the rest of the world.

    AIs already pillaged all the code in the world. This is fighting a lost fight. We won’t manage to force big AI firms that literally props a country to stay afloat to make their AI “forget” or “untrained”.

    Regulators let the pillaging happen so now AI does know how to code. They dont imitate they truly code.

    But IMO the real fight is about things like malus that are the real dangerous and malevolent actor here. They will take your open source code and resell it to big businesses.
