It's not that simple. If he did find dark stuff, and he got caught - he will have both the state murderers and the filth on his case. That's the best case scenario assuming the state isn't on the side of the filth by which case he was cooked no matter what he did. Filth does not even have come after you. They can just send you a family portrait and you'd know the hole is deep and only one way out.

Dubious at best. When you remember that there are open models with performance just as good as Sonnet that cost $2.50/M - $5/M output tokens. They don't have magically cheaper energy or compute costs. Anthropic premium pricing the API is just vibes. Like Starbucks. Like Lululemon. Like Apple.

I have to strongly disagree with this one. People should strive to do hard things, solve uniquely hard problems. SWE is not hard or particularly unique.

I made no such claims. Maybe you have something to share about why we need to have a negative view of free and open models based on publicly available frontier research.

You definitely have a bone to pick. Chinese researchers usually have given the world the most cheap and consistent high quality research around LLMs. They don't pretend, they do the work and release the goodies. Mostly so cheap, every one in the world has a chance to use close to frontier models. Why would you respond with "Anger"?

You let us know what your real complaint is about and let's not feign indignation at open models and research.

Civil war is always an exception because of the special circumstances. Its not an act of war but a state of emergency which has it's own protocols regarding presidential powers.

Of democracy, thats a feature, not a bug. The people spoke, the people received.

There is no flaw in the principle of that process. Its as old as time. Pontius pilate, 2000 years ago, had the exact same headache.

I know its well meaning, but 14 dollars US a month is not cheap globally. The people who do block are probably not the group google wants to advertise to anyway.

Its a war between two organized armies, however lopsided, with one army recieving support openly to defend against a larger state. Isreal is not only a belligerent state, it openly commits war crimes from every single human war convention in existence, if not outright genocide, what is it?

On the videogen, one would expect small, scrappy studios to get some tools to get further on their projects. What one has observed is that it is the large behemoths that are overzealous in their use of AI tools, despite the fact that they can produce work, have the budget and expertise to make it happen.

Baffling.

Can change just be advocated for something out of our own interest instead of using the "Chinese" boogeyman? Is that a possibility?

Yeah, Yandex browser also has this and its annoying. Terrible actually even if their auto-dub is way better than youtube's.
