MLA is just one example of a best-in-class technique from Hangzhou that's seen wide adoption in US prestige labs.

And the saltiness of US labs about DeepSeek is well-known. "O3, explain model distillation like I'm five."

No Sam, explain intellectual property rights to the judge in the NYT test case asshole.

… wait did you just seriously tell SamA that he’s an asshole because of copyright issues… while praising Chinese labs who couldn’t give a rat fuck and won’t follow the same laws? Or pay creators? Physician, heal thyself

Sam's an asshole for a lot of reasons, a ridiculous commons grab of intellectual property draped in threadbare rhetoric about human welfare (get those developing nation eyeballs SCANNED people!) being just one of them.

Watching the Chinese labs kick the shit out of better funded US enclaves of TESCREAL psychopathy in the public fucking domain is gravy.

I don't care that their internal calculus or that of the PRC is to Cloud Strife Limit Break a bunch of "shareholder value" in the form of a bloated NVIDIA cap feeding frenzy by bloated "public benefit corporations" with a bunch of creepy ties to Thiel et al: they're publishing papers, code and weights. So they're hoovering up of the commons has something of value going back into the commons.

So yeah, fuck Sam and its going to be fun watching OpenAI and Anthropic pivot ever more towards trying to outlaw competition than they already have. Amodei already sounds like Donald Rumsfeld on Taiwan hawkishness, this is not the positioning of someone who loves their product roadmap.

It turns out that a zillion ScaleAI and SurgeAI turks don't have economics any better than paying NVIDIA to run 85% net earnings for CapEx that's obsolete by the time its racked and powered.

... You did not speak to the key point at all and went on some massive rambling incoherent political commentary. I feel this comment is unworthy of the thread.

Native Sparse Attention matters. Your commentary is beneath this paper.
