    It's public record that Elon Musk personally spent $100M on the Trump campaign. Elon Musk is now using that political influence. While this may not meet the elements of Bribery und…

    Socialized housing is a management technique. It does not inherently create housing. Read about Stockholm's situation if you are interested in learning about the topic. It is indis…

    A socialized housing market replaces exorbitant prices with a lottery; public-subsidized housing in Stockholm has a waiting list of years. The way to stabilize the demand curve is …

    Are you claiming that China, India, and Pakistan do not possess nuclear weapons, do not assert they will retaliate with those weapons, or are led by old white men? There are many I…

    There are plenty of Chinese domains that are just numbers. If they can build entire businesses off of that, so can anybody. There's of course a ton of risk around scammers winning …

    The PLA has engaged in many battles over the last few decades. There were some as recent as 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Liberation_Army#Eng...

    The parent comment is getting dunked on because it feels rich for the majority racial group to claim aggrieved status. But I agree that adding the whiteness status of the men doesn…

    Did Kimi or other open source models use a different corpus? Why is your animus directed specifically to Anthropic?

    Yet the comment was valuable nonetheless.

    Being unwilling to compare degrees or amounts is not a flex.

    The essence of the Enron scandal was the perpetration of accounting fraud. It took down Arthur Andersen. We went from the "Big 5" accounting firms to the "Big 4" because of this. T…

    When looking at 2025 and 2026 narrowly, China is a better actor on the world stage. I wonder if Vietnam, Philippines, Republic of Korea, India, and Japan are acting against their o…

    Do you get mad at your computer for replacing clerical workers? What does this nonsense comment have to do with the issue at hand?

    What does your story have to do with Moonshot AI? Do you think they didn't also use the same corpus? Bizarre

    You're calling someone a political hack, but imposing neutrality on my statement. I don't even necessarily disagree with your assessment of this spokesperson. But you must admit ho…

    Your statement is orthogonal to my comment. Why reiterate the schadenfreude / fairness comment already stated several dozen times in this thread?

    Reread my comment and look for a value judgement on my part. The final sentence is probably a good clue as to my opinion.

    Commenters are overlooking the significance of this information and posting emotional reactions based on perceptions of fairness or feelings of schadenfreude. The economic viabilit…

    It matters because the closed-source frontier labs spend lots of money on human data (RLHF / RLAIF with human oversight). Moonshot is accused of circumventing these costs. Frontier…

    I think your characterization of my post, which credits Moonshot's innovation, goes a bit too far.

    I'm happy that Kimi K3 is indeed SotA and its open weights are due to be released soon. It's also true that Moonshot and other labs distill from Claude. This has been reported on e…
