'evil' lol. Every single corporation you deal with is evil then. it's greed. and almost every large model provider is guilty of it. China is all open source right now. cool! gee i wonder what would happen if they ever actually achieved SOTA? They would clamp down on that so fast Dadio's dradel would spin

China isnt "all open source" they still keep their top models out of the public view. Its easy to "open source" models when they're so far behind very few will pay for them.

Open source in quotes because they are not open source and not even close to open source.

And what models do they keep out of public view? What ridiculous propaganda is this?!

Can't we stop using "open-source" when it is just freeware?

Open-weight is both meaningful and unique term.

I don't know. If my ISP started MITMing my traffic so that they could silently rewrite packets, and/or deleting files on my computer because they thought me sharing wireless AP with my SO was me trying to compete with them, I'd call them evil.

I believe they tried something similar to the first one a few years ago in the US, and I remember people called that evil to the point where tech giants shut down their websites in protest.

Cool. Let them "achieve SOTA" and close down the models. Let the pendulum swing the other way.

You seem to not understand what China's goal is here. They want the AI bubble to burst and take your 401ks with it. And OAI/ANTs decisions are driving you towards that cliff.
