The reason you’re unhappy is that you haven’t found the right thing to buy. There’s something out there you can purchase that will make this all go away

idea guys think simply having the idea means they should be successful

programmers think simply being able to build the idea means they should be successful

Me extraña araña que no conozcas las leyes de tu propio país querido. Claro que si pueden comprar (sin testaferro inclusive), pero la ley impide que te hagan lo que le pasó a México con Texas por ejemplo. 🤷‍♂️ o acaso quieres mini paises que se vayan separando de la república Argentina desde ya todos sabemos que ubicación?

Open source is a positive and important force for both empowering people and preventing centralization. Proud to support this.

La narrativa del odio a la Argentina tiene un solo objetivo: lograr que el robo de nuestras tierras y recursos parezcan justos y merecidos. Vienen por todo porque tenemos un territorio DE LA CONCH4 DE LA LOR4.

[Thomas Unise @thomasunise]

Dean W Ball blocked me for disagreeing with him Because he can't actually defend his low iq arguments on open source ai.

This is pathetic and spineless but also perfectly in character for a guy whose written position is that federal agencies should raise concerns that "needn't be that well justified."

Manufacture the fear, never defend it, and when someone makes you defend it, hit block.

The argument he won't defend is that open weights suppress investment in AI.

Two years of open frontier releases have now happened and capex went up after every single one, because the people actually writing the checks looked at free Chinese models and built more data centers.

He predicted one thing and the industry did the opposite, which is usually the moment you update, unless the conclusion was the point and the reasoning was decoration.

So instead the framing shifts to "AI communism," a phrase that gets it exactly backwards, since a handful of "government approved" labs holding the only models is the command economy and ten thousand companies fine-tuning open weights without asking anyone's permission is the market.

Same inversion on China, where "they allow it because they're not AGI-pilled" substitutes for the simpler read, which is that it's working.

His framework requires everyone who disagrees with him to be confused rather than winning, which is also, conveniently, why he blocks people.

It all runs back to one thing. His employer OpenAI needs AI scarce and permissioned.

Open weights make that world impossible, so open weights have to be dangerous.

Weak argument by a weak man.

Open weights win because they work, they're free, and nobody can take them away.

Y la mentira cual es? Si lo que dice no fuera cierto este directivo de OpenAI no estaría llorando por Kimi 🤷‍♂️ si vende un poco de humo con lo de desarrollador porq los terminos de costos lo impiden, pero por ej, un youtuber como Pewdiepie podría correr el modelo si quiere, en su computadora con 1.5TB de ram 😌siente el flow amigo, abre tu mente

[Dean W. Ball @deanwball]

Some observations on Kimi:

1. It's a very good model! I don't think its performance can be explained away by distillation or anything like that. In agentic coding sessions, it seems pretty much on par with the best public models of Q1 2026. In my fairly limited use, it also seemed very token hungry. It's not obvious to me that this model is actually that cheap to run.

2. I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks. To be clear, I *myself* might be fine with models presenting this level of marginal risk being open weight, but I am surprised that China is fine with it. I suspect the reason they are is 75% explained by strategic blindness/lack of AGI-pilledness (the CCP is very Yann Lecun-y in its views of AI). The other 25% or so is their lack of compute for customer inference (making China's open-weight strategy an unintended byproduct of US export controls) and the normal Chinese strategy of aggressive exports. For the companies, as opposed to the government, the decision to open source is partially ideological and partially because they are behind, and they know that very few people would pay for sub-frontier models from China.

3. Open-weight models are inherently decelerationist, and I'm continually surprised to see the so-called "accelerationists" so excited about open-weight models. I suspect the reason they are is that they know open-weight models are effectively ungovernable, and they simply like the overall cloak of ungovernability open-weight models create over the whole of AI. It's not a bad strategy; it reminds me of James Scott's recounting of the hill people in "the art of not being governed." Still, in the end, open-weight models deter further AI capex.

4. One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism, which is precisely what China proposes: rather than a market product, AI is a "public good" which will ultimately be provided by the state as a kind of "digital public infrastructure." This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape, but I've never met an open-weight models advocate who doesn't ultimately concede this is where things end. You'd be surprised how many 'accelerationists' lobbied me, while I was in government, to support an eleven or twelve-figure federally funded data center so that startups could train models at a subsidy and then give them away for free. There was no other way for AI to progress, they said. Perhaps this is the logical end state of things. Nonetheless, I find myself surprised to see supposed accelerationists excited about such an outcome. I think many of them just don't know what they're doing. Many accelerationists do not view the creation and serving of frontier models as a legitimate business.

5. I would guess that the Trump Administration will at some point realize that their best strategy here would be to create large amounts of regulatory risk around the use of open-weight Chinese models. You don't need to "ban open source" (one of the dumber motifs of AI policy discussion). You just need to direct every agency to issue soft law that creates FUD. "A Federal Reserve Advisory Bulletin found that there may be backdoors in Chinese AI models." It needn't be that well justified. You just create enough regulatory risk that every regulated enterprise backs off. You probably don't want to create so much regulatory risk that you scare off the hyperscalers from serving Chinese models; this will just drive startups to sketchier providers. There's a happy middle ground here. I'd assume they will do some version of this.

6. It's probably true that open-weight models of this capability make the world a bit more dangerous, but not so much more that you'll really notice. At some point the models will be capable enough that you will notice. "A nonliving, invisible, dangerous, and infinitely self-replicating agent escaped from a Chinese lab," you say? Color me shocked.

The next Cursor model is going to be amazing thanks to K3 😍😍😍🔥🔥 I can’t wait

Dan is just jealous that frontier intelligence could make his “ClosedAI” company obsolete. Didn’t we all say we liked capitalism and liberty? 👀

@kev12365 @TraductorTeAma No le cuesta, le pagan para tuitear esto. Prefiere vender su humanidad y la patria que lo vio crecer por unos dolares. Hay personas así, personas que funcionan como si fueran un servicio de hosting a las cuales puedes alquilarles su voluntad y dignidad.

[RIICK @xorweak]

@BlackHC So developers aren’t going to disappear because frontier AI is open rather than closed? 👀😆

Looks like open source was winning all along. A certain company might need a rebrand.

[RIICK @xorweak]

mygod 😭 es como hablar con la pared.

Y que modelo puedes correr en local que sirva realmente para una actividad comercial rentable??

Solo porque no puedes correrlo en tu compu no significa que sea malo que se promocione, el software libre es el mejor invento de la humanidad querido.

[RIICK @xorweak]

@deanwball @grok Did Dean previously work, or does he currently work, at an AI company? That could explain why he wrote such a biased and obviously incorrect opinion.
