@zerohedge This article is of immense importance. Its significance lies in the fact that the unwritten rules and "gang-like" social characteristics found in China's financial sector reflect an operational model that extends across all industries and fields in the country.
@zerohedge This reminds me of the promotional strategy favored by Chinese companies—hiring armies of online "water army" operatives to boost click-through or download numbers.
@zerohedge In the gaming industry, there is no such thing as a "chuds player"; there is only a distinction between ordinary players and awakened players. 95% of people are ordinary players.
@zerohedge@OpenAI@AnthropicAI@GoogleAI Another potential advantage of closed models is that there is no need to worry about model updates. With open models, if a better-performing yet equally affordable alternative becomes available after deployment, would user have to redeploy?
@zerohedge@OpenAI@AnthropicAI@GoogleAI Furthermore, one cannot rule out the possibility that DeepSeek has fallen behind in terms of performance competitiveness and is thus forced to rely on price-based tactics.
@MackenZ_arnold@AnthropicAI@OpenAI@GoogleAI Personally, I believe that the unexpected risks associated with closed, specialized AI models can clearly lead to new discoveries and insights; I consider this process to hold significant—and perhaps even innovative—value.
@DavidSacks@AnthropicAI@OpenAI@GoogleAI The narrative of AI competitiveness should center on who reaches the ultimate goal first, rather than which side should gain dominance. However, I believe that the United States, as a liberal empire, rightfully deserves dominance given its existing advantages.
@DavidSacks@AnthropicAI@OpenAI@GoogleAI furthermore, US laws and American values will serve to regulate and constrain them. Consequently, the narrative surrounding open-weight versus closed models is not really about who controls the technology, but rather about who achieves it first.
@zerohedge However, these vulnerabilities and risks exist inherently. There is also intrinsic value in the ability of an uncontrolled AI to autonomously discover these risks—representing a balance between human oversight and the potential of artificial intelligence.
@zerohedge@OpenAI@AnthropicAI@GoogleAI@howardlutnick It is intriguing, then, to consider whether the discourse surrounding open-weight versus closed, proprietary models is driven by the allocation of profits or by considerations of competitiveness.
@zerohedge@OpenAI@AnthropicAI@GoogleAI@howardlutnick Does the current narrative surrounding China's open-weight models stem from a desire by Nvidia and compute intermediaries to profit from deploying these models—thereby challenging the dominance of closed-source frontier models that rely on all-inclusive API access?
