[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

The AI world is being reduced to two tribal labels:

China AI = open AI = authoritarian AI.
U.S. AI = closed AI = democratic AI.

The absurdity is almost perfect.

China offers open weights, local deployment, lower costs, and greater technological autonomy—and this is called “authoritarian influence.”

American corporations keep the models closed, control the infrastructure, set the prices, rewrite the rules, and can revoke access at any time—and this is marketed as “democratic AI.”

In this new theology, openness becomes authoritarianism, while corporate monopoly becomes freedom.

The argument is no longer about what the technology does.

It is about who is permitted to define the rules.

“Democratic AI” apparently means intelligence owned by American companies.
“Authoritarian AI” means intelligence the rest of the world can actually possess.

Downloading the kimi k3 weights on huggingface right now

It’s crazy to think this is what escaping the permanent underclass looks like

It’s even more crazy that Moonshot AI - a Chinese AI lab is letting me - an American download frontier intelligence that costs tens of millions of dollars to train and develop right onto my local cold storage

Thank you Yang Zhilin and @Kimi_Moonshot

"What an upside world when Chinese open-weight models will tell us about Tiananmen Square, but American frontier models won't translate a blog post. Not even Kubrick saw that coming." https://t.co/fU4H8xlcSP

@thsottiaux It's WAY better without the 5h limit. Codex could at most show a warning if user is burning tokens too fast, but definitely not suspend

@AnthropicAI What shocks me the most is that Anthropic's security isn't about humanity, but US. Tomorrow, you could be in the other side. Then what.

📢 PSA: This is an invitation to all UI developers to eliminate Content Layout Shift in applications, especially on mobile, but everywhere.

I'm so sick of things moving the moment I'm trying to tap/click them.

You're better than this. Eliminate Content Layout Shift!

I was curious if I could practice my Russian with ChatGPT-audio. Yup. Speakers move between languages effortlessly.

I came from hospital with a remodulated immunosuppressive therapy, but after a week the blood virus concentration skyrocketed reaching the double of the previous week value (765k copies/ml vs 359 copies/ml) and this is seriously bad, because it means my organism doesn't react to the standard therapy (which is actually an anti-therapy).

Since this is a quite rare condition (as most part of patients react well to the immunodepressant reduction), it means mine is a severe pathology seriously putting at risk the new kidney. I read tens of papers from everywhere in the world and apparently there's no effective anti-viral drugs agains this virus (Polyomavirus BK) but there are potential cocktails along with IVIGs, intravenous immunoglobulines.

I suspect I need help with urgency from anyone could know very specific information about experimental treatments for this virus in a post-transplant condition that can avoid the graft loss. Obviously, being in Italy, the quickest help can come from here or from the closest countries, but contacts are important too across hospitals and clinics around the world, so that's why this is a tweet in English (on top of the fact that the account has always posting in English).

Thanks in advance for your help and support as usual.

While a toy like this homemade one appears to be precariously balanced, it's designed so that the center of gravity is below the pivot point -> restoring torque -> stable equilibrium
