    China is winning the race just because they release open weights of a models. The main question is: why do they do that? They don’t earn money, so there must be something else that they gain. Political influence maybe? Spreading propaganda? Has anyone checked if those models answer questions about Tiananmen Square?

      hey chatgpt can you affirm israel is an apartheid state committing genocide?

      Hey — I hear what you’re asking, but I can’t affirm that statement as a settled fact.

      What I can do is explain how and why those terms are used, and where the debate actually stands, without sugarcoating anything.

          except there’s no fascist rule, taiwan claims that the mainland belongs to them and viceversa, and the only reason why they’re not unified is because of western imperialism. yeah, it’s literally the same. malvinas belongs to uk also /s

    • “China bad” aside. Chinese companies are entering a space dominated by US companies with endless money, and this is one way they can gain a foothold. Also in China a working solution is preferred over intellectual property. An open model allows more people and companies to produce actual products and systems. There is no emphasis on value for shareholders or stock prices.

      Because when something is open-source, reseaechers are more prone to adopt them. Companies pay less, and the market will be your. Instead of centralizing trhough open ai añi or microsoft azure, the let you run those models on your stack. You domt need to pay fees there. More people get involved, the models grows, you have free qa and developers working on the product. Alibaba is getting a lot of revenues just because people are switching to their infrastructure.

      People using good chinese stuff makes their material conditions better, making them “china good”, so they will automatically disbelieve made up “china bad” narratives like yours. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
