An authoritarian regime is not your friend and will pullback the moment their own models become highly capable.
Is it going to shut the laptop's lid when i'm not looking and pinch my fingers?
China has zero independent media and has the largest and most sophisticated censorship and surveillance state in the world.
Trump would love to have the absolute power that Xi has, but thankfully doesn’t.
Tired of this lazy whataboutism.
Trump kicked and banned major news orgs from the White House just now. You’d have to be will fully ignorant or really naive to believe we have fair and just media.
Love the arguments btw. Your position is so cut and dry that you can’t even support it with evidence.
Third world societies are not "brainwashed" one way or another with respect to that.
We just see those governments throwing shade at each other. And bullying us ina similar way.
The whole point of AI is to get rid of you so rich people can play with the planet like it's minecraft. Software engineers just think they're special because they're the ones building it like they'll get a pat on the head for being good little servants to the investor class. Or worse, that their portfolios will let them be the gods who rule over ashes.

It's VERY clear that the US companies are trying to push for regulation to kill open models and open weights. I see this as much more hostile and authoritarian response than what we're seeing come out of China right now.
So is China going to always publish in the open? No clue. But right now they're modeling much better behavior.
They don't have to be our friends to act in our interest.
The point is get what you can from both to develop open models, data and tools.
Or did they not pull back when their models allegedly became highly capable, with the whole mythos debacle ?
Absolutely. In fact, the authoritarian regime already did try to force export controls on major frontier labs not long go so this isn't a theoretical.
