a bit more seriously, though yes it’d take some work to get the apparent quality high, make sure the citations are real, etc, would this be so different than the role of a think tank? https://zirk.us/@interfluidity/113880345230884176
a great thing about LLMs, if there’s not already a literature that supports your position, there can be one pretty quickly!
in business and in France, ROI is king.
if the muzzling of US public health agencies is making you anxious, try a cool glass of raw milk to calm your nerves.

@Jvmguy Yes. Edison. Ford. Maybe some Howard Hughes too.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell i don't want to! i think there were proxy services? i'll try to , find get better at that, find out about those.

@ouguoc ( of course! )
first DeepSeek, now a new set of models from ByteDance. hopes the US had a moat it could maintain around AI dominance seem dashed, despite the extraordinary scale (and ecological weight) of US investment and attempts to retain advantage in GPUs and advanced microchips. https://www.aibase.com/news/14931 1/
these Chinese models are much, much lighter and cheaper to run than US frontier models.
will we really need to invest half a trillion dollars in AI and build special power plants (maybe due to Jevon's paradox), or might we just enjoy greener, cheaper applications? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox /fin
@ianbremmer tells Trump, a guy for whom any US trade deficit is like theft. 🤔
when you are pandering to people they can see you are pandering to them. who you are, what you stand for, will not seem powerful, valuable, aspirational, “real” to them. because it is not to you.
live and profess your values like they matter to you and they might start to matter to someone else.
declare the (always right-wing) “vibe shift” and think about how we are going to accommodate ourselves to it might not, in fact, be the best way to do politics.

@ouguoc ( and now this. too new to get much sense how much the thing lives up to the press release though https://www.aibase.com/news/14931 )
@eARCwelder what's bad for (our) billionaire's net worth is bad for America!
@ouguoc the qualitative evaluations i’ve read have been positive as well (except the one testing a Tiananmen Square prompt).
skepticism is always a good starting posture! i haven’t played with it, and would not in any case be competent to evaluate it.
but i guess i’d perhaps conspiratorially suggest the US incumbents really do not want AI to be “light”, that for example Sam Altman’s ambitions depend on it being capital intensive and difficult to contest. https://zirk.us/@interfluidity/113873326922290767
