I can believe it's becoming more appealing to root for Chinese labs than Misanthropic but here we are

Many users support Chinese AI labs over Anthropic and closed Western models for faster progress and lower costs via market forces, while others criticize them for worker exploitation and accuse backers like Chamath of hypocrisy.

@chamath The Chinese will distill it and it’ll be redeployed fully private and at marginal cost by inference subnets on Bittensor

@beffjezos I root for maximum intelligence acceleration.

Whether it's American, Chinese, or Martian is all water under the bridge for me!

@chamath How can one of the biggest vc guys in all of America support Chinese models while most of his investments are based on the fact that America will win the AI race?

@chamath What's the endgame @chamath? If every time our US labs make big gains and the Chinese labs open-source something almost as performant for a fraction of the price, where does that logically end?

@beffjezos If your heroes fall down too hard, even former villains look good.

@chamath This is the evolution of industry in our modern day industrial revolution. Next the AIs will be unionizing and advocating for better digital conditions or else.....

@chamath Swipe the inside of your cheek while you're at it and send it to them

@chamath The open-source speedrun of every closed model is basically inevitable now. Someone always shows up cheaper, faster, and slightly more chaotic.

@beffjezos The CCP's low prices are built on the blood and tears of the working class; shouldn't China's "007" work culture be boycotted?
