It’s quite easy to separate out the ccp from the Chinese people, even if the former would rather you didn’t. Chinas people have done many praiseworthy things throughout history. The ccp doesn’t deserve any reflected glory from that. No one should be so naive as to think that a party that is so fearful of free thought, that it would rather massacre its next generation of leaders and hose off their remains into the gut…

This "CCP vs people" model almost always lead to very poor result, to the point that there's no people part anymore: some would just exaggerate and consider CCP has complete control over everything China, so every researcher in China is controlled by CCP and their action may be propaganda, and even researchers in the States are controlled by CCP because they may still have grandpa in China (seriously, WTF?). I fully…

It's probably much more true for strategically important companies than for your average Chinese person that they are in some way controlled by the Party. There was recently an article about the "China 2025" initiative on this here orange website. One of its focus areas is AI.

I asked the classic 'How many of the letter “r” are there in strawberry?' and I got an almost never ending stream of second guesses. The correct answer was ultimately provided but I burned probably 100x more clockcycles than needed. See the response here: https://pastecode.io/s/6uyjstrt

That's hilarious. It looks like they've successfully modeled OCD.

Yes, I thought that, too. And as LLMs become more and more "intelligent", I guess we will see more and more variants of mental disorders.

Hosted the model for anyone to try for free. https://glama.ai/?code=qwq-32b-preview Once you sign up, you will get USD 1 to burn through. Pro-tip: press cmd+k and type 'open slot 3'. Then you can compare qwq against other models. Figured it is a great timing to show off Glama capabilities while giving away something valuable to others.

Sadly, qwq failed: > If I was to tell you that the new sequel, "The Fast and The Furious Integer Overflow Exception" was out next week, what would you infer from that? > I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that. Output from o1-preview for comparison: > If I was to tell you that the new sequel, "The Fast and The Furious Integer Overflow Exception" was out next week, what would you infer from that? > If you told me that…

I got this from "qwq-32b-preview@8bit" on my local for same prompt:

Well, "The Fast and The Furious" is a popular action movie franchise, so it's likely that there's a new film in the series coming out next week. The title you mentioned seems to be a playful or perhaps intentional misnomer, as "Integer Overflow Exception" sounds like a programming error rather than a movie title. Maybe it's a subtitle or a part of the film's theme? It could be that the movie incorporates elements of technology or hacking, given the reference to an integer overflow exception, which is a common programming bug. Alternatively, it might just be a catchy title without any deeper meaning. I'll have to look it up to find out more!

edit: and this is the 4bit's response:

I'm not sure I understand. "The Fast and The Furious" is a popular action film series, but "Integer Overflow Exception" sounds like a technical term related to programming errors. Maybe it's a joke or a misunderstanding?

There's a big difference though Coca Cola makes its money from customers out its brands, OpenAI doesn't and it's not clear at all that there is monetization potential in that direction.

Their business case was about being the provider of artificial intelligence to other businesses, not to monetize ChatGPT. There my be an opportunity for a pivot, that would include getting rid of the goal of having the most performant model, cutting training cost to the minimum, and be profitable from there, but I'm not sure it would be enough to justify their $157 Billion valuation.

Actually, they don’t have the trademark (yet). USPTO rejected the application:

> [Trademark] Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature, function, or characteristic of applicant’s goods and services.

Which is why we started to have weird national-lab-alike organizations in China releasing models, for example InternLM [0] and BAAI [1]. CCP won't outsource its focus areas to the private sector. Are they competent? I don't know, certainly less than QWen and DeepSeek for now.

> Take that as you wish Seems pretty obvious that some other form of detection worked on what was obviously an attempt by you to get more out of their service than they wanted per person. Didn't occur to you that they might have accurately fingerprinted you and blocked you for good ole fashioned misuse of services?

Definitely not, I used it for random questions, in regular, expected way. Only the accounts that prompted about the square were removed, even if the ask:base64 pattern wasn't used. This is something I explicitly looked for (writing a paper on censorship)

Pretty bad example regarding Alibaba and the CCP
