Typically the big LLM providers write in the their ToS that it is prohibited to use their output to train another LLM.

Whereas for a book it is fair use.

It is legal to train LLMs on books but illegal to train on output of LLMs.

Perfect - an absolute steal for 1.5B.

Funny. I prefer a model that does not attempt to talk like a human.

Lots of money in tech influencing - but most is from the big players (OpenAI buying tbpn, early access to select influencers etc).

It is obviously a marketing stunt. And hugging face are fools for letting themselves be used in it (remember hf - no open source - no hf).

You create superduper capabilities by careful tuning and training but you also have no constraint or control over them - wtf - why is anyone buying this crap story?

This is huge news if it is true.

Shooting for the moon and then be surprised when you actually land there.

I hope they wire up new hardware quickly to handle the demand.

It is a principled play by the Chinese. You would not have Xi showing up at AI conferences and speaking quite clearly had this not been the case.

Absolutely, you can say that. But in terms of tech, high quality open source ai is a real equalizer - and I applaud that.

Yeah. But I think in the developing world it is a common viewpoint: That tech monopolies and ip is continuation of western colonialism and exploitation.

Xi is not speaking for deaf ears here.

Xi shows up at the Shanghai-based World Artificial Intelligence Conference and reaffirms China's commitment to open source AI; I guess they sense that they have a good thing going and is doubling down on that.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer used to be a such classic design. By associating them with cameras and Meta, Ray-Ban risks messing that up for good.

It is curious - you would think they would love it? But they don't - is it simply the case of the Chinese beating them - stubbornness and pride? Or is there something more going on?

Toyota was seemingly decades ahead at one point with their hybrid cars; but now they have resigned to a defensive position compared to Tesla, Chinese automakers, even the European ones.

Event horizon.

Tax breaks matter more than electricity prices.

I don’t understand why they are not reintroducing the Apple Xserve?

Interesting that neither meta nor xai chose to do open source given that they are both clearly behind Google, OpenAI and anthropic - and a serious us open source offering would give them a clear foothold.

(Not a Claude user) What is "superpowers"?

Operating systems and office suites (like windows and word) have big network effects and high switching costs.

Much less with llm chatbots/coding tools.

The ai agent “claim” is from the webpage that is linked to:

When You're Ready to Migrate

You don't need to migrate. But if you want to, we built a skill for it:

pnpm dlx skills add shadcn/ui

Then ask your coding agent:

migrate accordion to base-ui

For boring applications - do people prefer the copy paste approach of shadcn instead of a traditional ui library like mantine?

The copy paste approach may be easily modifiable but creates new problems - ie now there is an upgrade ai agent for something that should just be ticking up a version number.

They deliver part of hardware but the data itself is hosted in Spain and operated by the interior ministry.

Does it mean it generates code with random security holes?

Deepseek.

Technology.

rhoooo - so this is where to go to get cheap Claudeo at 90% off the listing price!

(This sounds like a clumsy way of catching the Chinese that easily can be side-stepped.)

Claude Code has more or less full access to the client computer. The server (that hosts the actual AI) can just go: execute this payload and tell me the result - otherwise I won't answer any further questions or re-route you to a stupider model.

The payload could check for Chinese time-zones, scan for copies of the little red book on the local hard-drive, or ping truth.social to see it was behind the great firewall.

It is interesting how much people doubt Huawei’s capabilities in this area - Jensen does not (in the dp interview) - of course you can dismiss this as him talking his own book.

The bad ass “resume” of the founder - sounds like the Chinese guy from the Silicon Valley tv show (who ends up ruling the world from somewhere in the jungle):
