@tankots @WisprFlow 1. It's reay difficult to use wispr on iPhone.
2. Transcription has gotten worse over the last month. It used to just work earlier.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

just to state the obvious: think there's a collison course between those who believe research and science should be open and those who believe we are in an accelerating singularity curve.

I have many smart friends who have believed both for a while but seeing more and more their realization that these beliefs will be in conflict.

I for one believe that America and the west needs open and distributed access to research and computation and sharing of ideas at all times.

Chinese AI labs are playing a different game: open source models to export influence.

So Beijing can afford to subsidize the industry.... and for the labs, the equation is national prestige & ecosystem capture (not near term revenue)

In short: influence now, monetize later.

US labs may be winning revenue today, but the next fight is dependency. Countries do not want their AI stack built on a closed frontier model they dont control

LinkedIn was already slop. All that's changed is that it's now AI slop.

@ankurnagpal So, how can one invest in an Indian cricket team?

[Raunak Manjani @rmanjani]

@adxtyahq This isn’t true. Amazon doesn’t function this way.

[Raunak Manjani @rmanjani]

@prathamgrv This is unfortunately very common at Amazon. It's called PoA - promotion oriented architecture

@IamKyros69 No.

@ChShersh @piliponful Kafka can easily handle that load. You just need to use it properly.
