for those curious, regarding your first point, as far as I know any home that is dark red on this map has access to it, and any light red is planned to get access: https://ftth.ini…

I dont buy that, mainly because in blind tests where people dont know which model was used and choose a result, this does not seem to hold true

I find it difficult to compare LLMs in general. It will do better in some cases, worse in others. As far as I see it, most of it is marketing. You can try it out extremely cheaply …

I would not call them idiots personally, they are just facing an extraordinary difficult situation with their open weight competition that's almost impossible to fix. They will hav…

I was wrong, I thought they would only go for B2B already. But instead they will remove it from the subscription and price it at 50$/mtok. Compared to GLM-5.2 for 4.40$ that's quit…

Probably not. But I also cant imagine the hardware not improving. Also there is surely a sweet spot regarding price and quality. I have strong doubts that much larger models will g…

thats true. also, I watched the glm prices and it didnt take long before the prices dropped even lower for some providers. its like another layer of competition between hosters

I am quite certain that it is delayed on purpose to maximize the gains, but at some point some company will see the huge demand for local ai and will want to eat the cake (given th…

thats pretty scary to me. what will the data centers be used for if people run that stuff offline? maybe new models? but will there even be any demand? I guess we will see

I feel like the gap is closing to be able to run good enough models locally even for coding and I would assume it could make some companies a bit nervous. Am I wrong about that?

best for who? for the cloud provider for all the vendor lockins? theres hardly anything i like about the popular cloud providers to be honest

its a big assumption that larger models bring any measurable benefit in the long term. there's a point where its not worth paying the expense of a bigger model and we dont know whe…

I'm pretty sure that's not linear, so I personally expect the benefits of larger models to diminish. The question is at what point that's the case. I guess a lot of variables play …

I personally believe that eventually manufacturers will want to sell more of their hardware and look for ways to sell hardware to consumers. isnt that situation quite similar to th…

unfortunately the history of these big tech companies has shown that they do not care about data privacy and are even willing to lie about it. but I guess its irrelevant, in practi…

I am personally okay helping them as long as they publish the models and dont keep them closed. And I dont trust the settings where providers say they wont train on it.

> They're further from Communism than they've ever been since the PRC was founded. The gap between rich and poor is growing there, not shrinking. I suppose it depends on what time …

it's not necessarily capitalism, I personally believe any system that drives progress would cause this in one way or another. My prediction is that birth rate decline will accelera…

> The one-child policy died a long time ago. true, but as far as I understand it did because birth rates got too low. so they replaced it with a two-child policy and later with a t…

mythos is a mythos

workers seizing the means of production is by definition socialism and not capitalism though, that's the whole idea behind socialism

I dont think thats right, the models and the gpus are the means of production. in capitalism the people with the capital get the profit, not the people who do the work. however, wo…

to support the companies that open source their models

what makes you think that china ever gave up its communist goals? I personally see that everything they do aims towards that goal. From the one child policy, the huge amounts of em…
