They should allow top AI models that indoctrinates users into hardcore Communists. Oh wait, they don’t really need to do that because the billionaire pedos are already doing that by enshittifying everything under the sun.

With all the posts about LV stealing China’s history, in the course of doing a little online research, I found a cool website/online store that details more about this kind of thing. This home furnishings/accessories business as a whole looks like a cool exploration of the Chinese aesthetic. Thought people here might appreciate it.

I don’t think you are giving Chinese strategists the credit they are due here.
China making its existing AI models open source isn’t done out of naivety or idealogical principles, it’s done based on hard cold strategic calculations.
Firstly it’s done to put China on the map in terms of AI and make it impossible for the inevitable western smears about Chinese models being copies.
The second reason is to create secondary markets for hardware, services and whole ecosystems. China’s bread and butter is manufacturing and they want AI to generate new demand for a whole new market of AI related hardware products, which will also in turn generate services and eventually a whole ecosystem. That means it wants as many people and companies to be able to use AI as possible, so the costs to running AI models should be affordable.
This is in stark contrast to the western strategy of gatekeeping and rent seeking where they ‘win’ the AI race by bankrupting all competitors to achieve an effective monopoly and then lock access behind paywalls and rent seek to extract every last penny possible out of users with complex pricing strategies.
This fundamental difference in anticipated end-use also backflush into how the two sides went about designing their AI models.
China designed their AI models for maximum efficiency to minimise costs of adoption, while western designers went with maximum cost to basically start an arms race to see who can afford the most data centres to bankrupt their competitors asap so they can move onto monopolistic predatory pricing and maximum profit extraction sooner. It doesn’t matter if they only sell a tiny number of licenses if they are the only game in town.
By making its AI model open source and free to all, China directly advances its own AI strategy while also effectively fucking up the west’s.
But all of this is already achieved by releasing ‘good enough’ AI models. I think this new direction is to set some ground rules and limits for Chinese AI companies on the max performance model they should release openly to prevent them trying to compete in that direction and gifting western AI companies with superior Chinese tech. China still wants and needs western AI companies to continue to kill themselves by burn through mountains of cash trying to stay in the game instead of free riding off of Chinese AI companies.

Sounds like a government hit job on Kirk.

A 33-floor high-rise building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, has been evacuated after the buckling of several structural columns on at least one of the floors was detected, alongside several surrounding buildings as a precautionary measure. The building is the former HQ for Pfizer, which is currently undergoing renovation work to convert the building into a luxury rental apartment when this incident occurred.
Bro got epsteined after shilling for the right for all these years…
This should be expected. when you think about it who invaded Ukraine and what they think about Ukraine.
Recently Zelensky threaten Belarus to remove signaling equipment that helps in targeting within a week or he will bomb Belarus and Belarus chicken out by inviting Zelensky representative and Zelensky keep threatening Belarus. This feel like normal threats to outsiders but reality is Putin is showing to his own non muslims the reality of Belarus. I may have written about it in beginning of conflict that they found more filth in Belarus than expected and that change conflict away from North.
This Armenian PM talked too much about Europe before election but after election he has to visit Ural city where he has to meet delegations of dozens of Islamic countries with Indonesia as guest. Make things unpleasant for Europhiles.
