Sha1rholder··on Anthropic trained Claude on illegally obtained Stanford professors' books
If so. Then Anthropic will be enjoying distillation from open-source models.

I absolutely agree that the opposite of "suffering".

Sha1rholder··on America didn't lose its rare earth industry, it sold it
Then what? You think your older account is somewhat superior?

This is an anger-driven Conversion: someone creates an account to respond out of intense disapproval of a certain opinion, which is extremely common on any forum.

Sha1rholder··on America didn't lose its rare earth industry, it sold it
If it looks like a strawman to you, that only shows how accustomed you've become to harboring deep hostility toward China. The original comment makes it sound as though the innocent US is being subjected to unilateral trade sanctions by evil China, to the point that "we" need to react.

Congras! Both Apple and "Open"AI are more open to each other now
Sha1rholder··on America didn't lose its rare earth industry, it sold it
>...put a break on moving in the right direction and now we need to react

- What do you mean "the right direction"? Do you mean the "open and free direction" that "Hey you can't have our Nvidia chips but must keep selling us cheap rare earth"? - And who are "we"? I suggest "we"'d better take care of "ourselves" instead of "react".

Sha1rholder··on Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default
Off-topic: I think the front-end quality of ChatGPT/Codex Desktop and Android app is simply dreadful—hard to imagine how such a large number of frequent failures made it into production. Do they not use human testing at all?

The comment is honest and does happen sometimes. Your "cool words" don't make sense.

> I don’t think I’ve heard of elegant code leading to discovery on its own.

Every software design pattern came from elegant code. People wrote code, summarize code, learnt from code, and taught code. That's discovery

Sha1rholder··on On social reality in China
In fact, the reason I know this can’t be any kind of “popular childhood song” is that all genuinely popular childhood songs have themes like “blow up the school,” “git rid of your mom and dad,” “skip school,” and kids’ dirty jokes. It’s the same all over China.

And we do talk about it often.

This “childhood song” example is completely out of step with China’s social reality, just as you can easily recognize at a glance “an old British poem” forged by an American.

Sha1rholder··on On social reality in China
Aside from its portrayal of Chinese people as having a “collective insecurity” and a “chip-on-your-shoulder,” which are the only 2 parts that I agreed, this article’s depiction of Chinese people as a group is simply not true.

At its core, it is a kind of projection along the lines of: “I’m an enlightened, worldly Western person who is almost immune to propaganda, and Chinese people are a mixed bag, but overall they are xxx.”

This is not the social reality in China. As the author’s background indicates, this is the imagining of an American who moved to the States at the age of four and has some interest in China due to ancestry.

Just to give one example—because there isn’t enough space here, and I can’t be bothered to write out more:

> Here is the first verse of a popular children’s song: ...

And yet, in more than twenty years of my life interacting with people of different ages from all over China, I have never once heard of this supposedly “popular children’s song.”

After all this article is just another BS about “It is concerning how much China blablabla...” Actually, on _Social Reality in_ Chinese American is they consider those “Chinese Chinese” as basically gorillas, parading them in front of other European Americans as if to say: “Look, these Chinese Chinese are my ancestors! Let’s study them together—and just look at how much further we Chinese Americans have evolved compared with them.” It IS a fancy imagination for those who really don't know zero about what's the reality of the people in the GFW.

That's what AI companies that "focus on safety" did.
