Money from the Chinese defense budget?
Everyone using these models undercuts US companies.
Eventually China wins.
Shoot, didn’t know downloading Llama and running it locally was helping China because I’m not paying Sam Altman money.
Can I send him my bank account info directly? I need to help the cause.
> Can I send him my bank account info directly?
You can. Ask your friendly local IRS.
And wez the end user get open source models.
Also china doesn't have access to that many gpus because of the chips act.
And i hate it , i hate it when america sounds more communist than china who open sources their stuff because free markets.
I actually think that more countries need to invest into AI and not companies wanting profit.
This could be the decision that can impact the next century.
If only you knew how many terawatt hours were burned on biasing models to prevent them from becoming racist
To be honest, maybe I am going off topic but I wish for the level of innovation in the ai industry in the energy industry.
It feels as an outsider that very little progress is made on the energy issue. I genuinely think that ai can be accelerated so so much more if energy could be more cheap / green
The cycle from idea to product is a bit too long and too costly to materialize in energy sector. And that decides the speed of innovation.
China has allowed quite a bit of market liberalism, so it isn’t that surprising if their AI stuff is responding to the market.
But, I don’t really see the connection on the flip side. Why should proprietary AI be associated with communism? If anything I guess a communist handling of AI would also be to share the model.
My reasoning for proprietary AI to be associated with communism is that they aren't competing in a free market way where everyone does one thing and do its best. They are simultaneously trying to do all things internally.
For example , Chatgpt etc. self hosts them on their own gpu and they can generate 10tk/s or something.
Now there exists groq , cerebras who can do token generation of 4000 tk/s but they kind of require a open source model.
So that is why I feel its not really abiding by the true capitalist philosophy

That seems based on a very weird idea of what capitalism and communism are; idealized free markets have very little to do with the real-world economic system for which the name “capitalism” was coined, and dis-integration where “everyone does one thing” has little to do with either capitalism or free markets, though it might be a convenient assumption for 101-level discussions of market competition where you want to avoid dealing with real-world issues like partially-overlapping markets and imperfect substitutes to assume every good exists in an isolated market of goods which compete only and exactly with the other groups in that same market in a simple way.
It seems to me like they are acting like true capitalists; they seem very happy with the idea that capital (rather than labor) gives them the right to profit. But, they don’t seem to be too attached to free-market-ism.
I mean how is a free and open source model not a free market schism atleast in the ai world.
