tw1984··on CT scans of BYD car parts
I consider you as a victim of the brainwashing by your main stream media.

there are tons of western cars on Chinese roads, tesla was given free land and close to interest free loan to build its factory in Shanghai. there are numerous apple shops in China. guess how many Chinese cars are driving on US roads, how many Huawei phones are being sold in the US.

if you are open to the idea of jumping out of your comfort zone of your favourite brainwashing media, some westerner actually went to China and counted every single car at an intersection for 30 minutes with all brands summarised. over 40% are western cars.

again - it is not your fault, you are the victim. I just feel sad for you.

Anthropic and OpenAI took your data, trained their model, and tell you "we are not going to tell you anything how we trained our models, we are not giving your the weights our models, you will have to pay us to access the model trained from your data".

they took your rights and your data.

Chinese labs took your data, trained their model, and tell you "this paper details how our models are trained using your data, here is the final weights of our model trained from your data, feel free to use it for what you want, it is your model trained on your data".

they converted your data, everything is still in your hand under your control.

you couldn't see the difference?

Your specific question can actually be translated as -

1. why people don't stop Chinese labs so US monopoly can be maintained?

2. why people don't stop Chinese labs providing free models to those who would otherwise never be able to afford the same $200 USD/month Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

3. why people don't complain Chinese labs publishing those trillion dollar secret ideas on model training.

well, because most people are not dickhead I guess?

I agree that benchmarks are inherently subjective.

but the fact that you cite your brief as your main argument is funny - you don't even have any inherently subjective numbers to justify what you believe, you only have "I don't believe".

when it comes to topics like genders, "it depends on your definition" when it comes to topics like democracy and freedom, western definition is all you must depend on

you don't see the problem? lol

> Democracy is the idea that people should control their government.

who started the recent war with Iran and war in Vietnam? did those wars started by American people? did those wars got approved by the people of America or their elected representatives?

> I don't feel great about using an LLM that has a panic attack any time I ask about Tiananmen Square or Taiwanese sovereignty.

well American censored LLMs that usually willing to take extreme efforts to convince me that there is no genocide in Gaza.

the same American LLMs also insist that there are many human genders.

> You had to reach back 50 years to find US support for dictators.

US allies in the entire middle east are literally all dictators or worse than dictators. For example, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, you just need 6 years education in school to understand that is worse than dictators when religion is also heavily involved at the same time.

I guess Alex Pretti and Renee Good didn't get much say in whether they should be killed by the US federal government.

Let me remind you that none of their killers wearing US federal agency uniforms have been charged. I thought their rights were covered by their constitution, that was a mistake.

It is just shocking to hear such stuff from someone in the UK.

How about your pack up your arrogance and stop defining human rights for me and other 1.4 billion Chinese?

tw1984··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
you are defending a failed system purely based on your prejudice. let me get it straight to you -

1. Renée Good's killer is still free, never got arrested never charged. you can't just ignore such facts and cheap talk to prove the system works. the system completely failed to bring justice even after large scale public unrest. that by itself is the evidence - the failed system answers to no one.

2. Trump evade prison, everyone in the Epstein file evade prison. again, this happened in front of the entire world with extensive media coverage. you need to be extremely innovative to defend such systematic failures of the justice system.

how would you openly argue against such facts? just because you love the US and its systems? lol

tw1984··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
Rule of law in the US - are you kidding yourself?

When American citizens are being gunned down in public on cameras by US federal government agents, you are telling me that the US follows the rule of law?

Before you start to offer more propaganda, just tell me where is the killer of Renée Good, has that killer been arrested or charged yet? Keep your censored version of rule of law to yourself and your kids.

oh, btw, the current US President did got convicted for criminal offences, he walked away for free just because he got elected as the president. nice rule of law! what did he do recently - authorised illegal war against another country in which over 100+ school children got killed. Surely your fancy US rule of law is going to do something about this?

love your very cute assumption that China is going to sit there and do nothing.

you must be living in the Disneyland?

tw1984··on Miscellanea: The War in Iran
> other countries also have access to them and could very well exploit.

only in your wet day dreams.

let's just look at Gallium which is arguably one of the most critical for defence. to produce 100 tons of Gallium, which counts for 10% of the global supply each year, you have to have 200 million tons of Alumina capabilities. "other countries" won't be able to do it, as they don't have affordable electricity and skilled workers to make the Alumina business itself profitable. how they are going to use or sell those Alumina? to absorb loss of 2 million tons of Alumina for each 1 ton produced Gallium, "other countries" will have to lift their Gallium prices to stupid level.

that is assuming Chinese choose not to fight back on the Alumina front - they control 60% of Alumina production worldwide, they can just flood the global market with cheap Alumina to bankrupt your Gallium production.

remember - 2 million tons of Alumina for 1 ton of Gallium.

> One can argue that once we achieve the singularity, it could immediately scale on its own as it decides.

even if this is true, someone needs to build the platform and the software required to get to the singularity.

one can also argue that lots of $ is required to get to the singularity, taking control of how the world builds, deploys and operates the digital world is a proven avenue to get such $.

> this type of stuff really makes me doubt their AGI claims, why would they bother with this stuff if they were confident of having AGI within the next few years?

because AGI doesn't grow in a cage, it requires a piece of software running somewhere. someone has to build both to get that happen. that is like a high school level question.

No, it is completely different.

Claude was trained on chardet, anything built by Claude would fail the clean-room reimplementation test.
