I wonder why Hotz removed it ? (https://github.com/geohot)

Looks like its time that we start archiving github pages too just in case.

Open source AI is mostly Chinese and recites CCP propaganda on many political topics, that's not good either.

Thank God we have Mistral and gpt-oss, but they're slowly obsoleted

Closed source AI is mostly US with all of the nonsense that entails, on top of being closed source. I don't think this is the even comparison you seem to think it is.

The rest of the world probably doesn't look at this equation and say "Oh, yeah, China is so much worse than the US that it really offsets the fact that all of these models are closed and controlled by billionaires who want to jail people in their walled gardens."

This is not meant as a "what about...", to be clear. I just think you're off base if you think that people view the US significantly more favorably than China.

What we do is share information. What they do is spread propaganda.

With that said of course any propaganda is subpar compared to a mix of news and sources that in aggregate does not promote one entity... or whatever the shorthand for not-propaganda is.

Which does not matter for many things. I would not use AI to research political topics anyway.

Me neither, but roughly a third of my social circle uses AI for news related questions

They are probably getting their news off social media so any sort of accuracy or analysis is probably a lost cause anyway!

"Mistral and gpt-oss"

Seems to have been removed, I'm getting a 404

A brief glance at the other posts makes me feel that this is not a bad thing perhaps. That blog seems quite high on rant and low on substance.

Neopeasant uprising suppressed.

But still getting upvotes...

Who needs to open the link when the author is well known and the title is catchy?

It’s up now.

Different version back up:

> So this isn’t the original post I had here. The original post was AI slop

It’s up.

> So this isn’t the original post I had here. The original post was AI slop, and let this be a lesson to me for posting it. It doesn’t matter if you read it and think it looks good. It’s still AI slop, and everyone else can see that. This rewritten post is the same idea, but slop-free.

Internet never forgets 404s
