  • Again, at the very least, no, they’re not open source. Open-weights means anyone can download, use, and tinker with them a bit, but there is no access to their code, training data, or process.

    It’s just as limiting as closed source software with some modding allowed, but not as limiting as an online-api-only model, as many of the most powerful modern models are.

    There are no heroes in the Global Powers’ race. The USA is a comically cartoonish villain in real life, yes, but all the biggest Chinese data centres for all that training, are still built in poor areas (Inner Mongolia and the bullshit that China has apparently inflicted on them), and still fucking over those who live there.

    It’s abuse all the way down.






  • No, our government isn’t forcing us to work more only to pay like 5 rich Greeks’ German loan interest, it’s also to pay for submarines and warships that protect USA war interests, Israeli bombing, drone production, and data centre interests, American and British private college interests, and Greek Parliament literal serial criminals’ interests. (Interest pun intended)

    In all seriousness, any such AI deal, makes a lot of sense as a “Mr. Open AI, you give us data control and a hefty bonus, and we give you some of these workers’ money that we collected, everyone wins.”
