It's shifting into employees the effects of climate change. Filtering them out as a personal responsibility problem. Those unlucky to "need" treatment because they failed the test and are thus not hired are thus stuck in a poverty circle. Business as usual, not reducing emissions is accepted even though it is guaranteed death in a few years.

There's countries like Panama where medical blood tests are common to get an office job and also employ outsourcing with contractors on site to boost productivity and avoid sick down time. Like here https://copa.gcs-web.com/company-profile I know this causes a lot of false negatives and unnecessary over treatment. Basically they expect you to not need the salary and reject those who would benefit from a salary for private healthcare because public healthcare often has no supplies. Also, Humanity would much rather kill itself than do things the right way.

When their models equal or surpass those from the Western AI labs,

that moment is now. They are not doing it at least not yet.

You asked about genocide in general. Not Israeli genocide. Are you astroturfing? No one can make an omission that obvious

You can't genuinely argue that the US, for all its problems, is less free than China

This is how Americans convince themselves they are at the top of the world when they are not. No one outside of Europe and the US cares about the US anymore. They buy Chinese products and do business with Chinese businesses instead, right now. Worldwide, China is seen more positively than the US specially in global south countries. The exceptions of course are Europe and The US, the cold war first world countries of course.

This is obvious American bias. Astroturfing.

Are we sure it's because they have closed source as a moat, or because they have the first mover advantage? I would say it's the latter because every single one of their products has fully functional, feature complete competitors even open source ones. Like apache superset and postgres

Ask an American model about the Epstein files and trump's involvement of them. Or about Israel committing genocide in Palestine.

Every model will have their own bias. Freedom is relative and American freedom is not the only form of freedom. China bad or China authoritarian and thus not free is a result of the red scare

All 6 UN languages should have their own dedicated LLM at the very least: American for English, Chinese for Chinese, LATAMgpt for Spanish, Russia has their own, Mistral for French, the Arabs don't have one yet I think, then there's sarvam for India and South Korea's sovereign models like SK telecom's

I fail to see how scale is not just another form of vendor lock in, given that their compiler is not open source. Every compiler used today except cuda's is open source. And Nvidia can get away with it because no one else cares about development experience
