Most founders copy/paste their privacy policy from Stripe or ask Claude to draft an MSA at 2:00 AM, then pray they don't get sued.

You can stop doing this.

I've been using Kimi K3 for ~16 hours now.

The model is clearly good at a lot of different things (especially frontend), but non obvious reason why people are enjoying it so much is that it clearly does not follow the same rules in terms of safeguards and copyright.

Kimi will happily clone MacOSX. If you ask it to help you improve another AI model, it will do it with a smile on its virtual face.

Ask Fable to do the same thing? It literally starts to perceive you as a criminal committing a war crime (like no bro, all I want to do is fine tune an open source model).

After using all three recent releases, Fable, GPT 5.6, and now Kimi, it's clear that the full power of the models has been significantly held back by the safeguard restrictions caused by last months debacle with the USG -- leading to the top models being quite literally lobotomized in some areas, which leads to subpar results as the safeguards pollute its entire thinking and problem solving abilities.

The funny part? Is that you could have predicted this outcome 2-3 years ago when you started to see the rise of Chinese EVs and smartphones compared to western alternatives.

They quite literally tried to copy the Tesla Model S and iPhone as hard as possible and then eventually it started to diverge to the point where their EVs and phones are just genuinely better (which is why we have export controls banning their EVs, because they would literally drive all US manufacturers to ZERO)

There is a very clear behavior difference in Chinese capitalism and American capitalism.

American capitalism tries to protects copyright, patents, etc (oh no, you can't download a book through LibGen, that's ILLEGAL!).

Versus Chinese capitalism actually just does not give a fuck.

"Hey you want a video gen model (Seeddance 2.5) trained on every single anime ever? And you want the main character to look exactly like Messi? Sure, here you go!"

You see what I mean? When one half of the competition is being held up by regulators and restrictions on people who don't understand the technology and the other half has a leader who quite literally today said they are going to set up AI centers around the world to help other countries onboard to their open-source AIs, this is the sort of results that you will start to get.

These models were not smart enough to have this difference in philosophy matter -- but the newest class of models is where this difference makes a big deal. If these models are finally at the point where they are smarter than 99% of humans, why would you want to use the American one who tries to impose its world view onto you versus the Chinese one who will just do what you say without asking any questions?

And this isn't a full on bullpost on Kimi, the model is clearly not as smart as Fable / GPT 5.6 on things like math and science, but it's lack of handcuffs means that it can show the world what the frontier labs are gatekeeping from you and that starts to build customer resentment and loyalty towards the East, which is probably not what the USG wants.

Interesting times. Interesting times, indeed.

@TechLayoffLover 1- anyone who’s coded with AI for more than a week knows how impossible it is to fully rely on AI. 2- it’s true that some humans produce worse code than AI too.

In pursuit of #systemicchange, it is often necessary to rethink that which we already know. Co-founder Olivier Boutellis examines a very old concept - the negative externality - and calls us to change our viewpoint: https://t.co/mJ0NPWZtXj @obt_ACE

Curious, what's everyone's methods for organizing the vast amount of data/articles/books/information/chaos you need to reference and recall for later work? Especially you PhD type folks, how do you keep track of everything? My current methods are inefficient and need improvement

You got to be kidding. Beijing's capture of global institutions reaches a new climax as a Chinese ambassador is appointed to the "international tribunal of the law of the see", despite Beijing fully ignoring the ruling of such bodies regarding the South China Sea.

Thank you for @Reuters capturing these important moments of Hong Kong history! The photography staff of Reuters has won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for its coverage of last year's protests in Hong Kong. https://t.co/z5VNEI6jpr

If true, this is an absolutely abhorrent development to add to the violence reported this morning. As I have said many times before, there must be an independent, judge-led inquiry into the actions of the Hong Kong Police @joshuawongcf

I fondly remember Chinese University of #HongKong (#CUHK) as a wonderful place to conduct research with a beautiful, peaceful campus...

So what on earth is happening there today, and why?

If a campus isn't a safe place for students, what's left?
