With proprietary hosted weights you can be specifically targeted and you would not be able to reproduce nor prove anything.

Poisoning open models would be of short-term benefit to China only if they could target US (and maybe EU + Commonwealth) specifically. Damaging anyone else would be a net loss and would erode the partnerships and alliances they are trying to build elsewhere. So it's a fire-once weapon with a huge risk of collateral damage.

Much more plausible is simply making the models ideologically biased, but as history teaches us, preferring ideology or religion over science is a well-known path to ruin. It would be weird to simultaneously warn public not to use their own open models, so.

I think the most plausible explanation for open models is simply that Huawei wants more customers and is willing to compete on the hardware front.

Far left would be inciting people to outright hang landlords. Much like far right is labeling anarchists as terrorists in the US.

But I don't think you can just elect Hitler in every nation and then get them to cooperate. They will inevitably want more and when they do they become aggressive. At which point I guess people will reconsider.

Want to ignore those patents? Unless you have nukes you're not.

R9700 will lose less than 30% of value in the upcoming 3 years. Give or take. Yet people buy ancient cards for way more than 30% of R9700's cost.

And this memory control primitive leaks into the reasoning chain, because it has no other channel for it available and we do not know how to train any other channel.

On the flip side, it tends to converge quickly, roughly proportional to the actual difficulty / clarity of the task.
