Wow, I did not know about this one. Imagine if every country goes this route, and then there is a direct integration between central banks?

LLM providers get a free pass for anything these days, unfortunately

I see a Linux distro as a "integration project", which delivers several software pieces glued together that work in harmony, which includes "OS pieces" such as the Linux kernel.

Why do people add "OS" to their product/project name when it is not an OS at all?

I find AI generated text way worse than images. I get a migraine from reading it.

Always funny to see how some LLM providers get a "free pass" nowadays..

Bad move. Those corporate events serve the purpose to find "bad apples" (from the employer's perspective), to either shape you into what they want or cut you off.

Never sacrifice your privacy in such an environment.

Oh well, that is disappointing. I was enjoying it for my own side projects. I wonder what's next on their list...

The article's premise is that USA based LLM providers are losing the AI (cold war) battle because it will not be as adopted as open-weight models, comparing it to closed vs open sourced software. I do not think this is the case because:

* The comparison is weird because open-weight is not the same as open-source software to begin with;

* People based in the USA are at an advantaged position since they have access to both american and chinese models;

* Isn't Running your own model training infrastructure more expansive?

* One can still leverage both, in different phases or use-cases. I do not see how this is an "one or the other" situation.

openstack vs aws/azure/gcp/... would make more sense.

AI was the nail in the coffin. Hackathons were killed by business people and "startup culture".

Well, because it is. Social media turned most of its users into digital beggars.
