@theo If china came out with a mythos class model do you think they’d let it be released outside of the CCP?

@ccccjjjjeeee Canada seems nice

@0xajka I did not say China was a good place to build an AI lab.

@0xajka Canada seems fine
@theo nice one lol
The United States is no longer the best place to build an AI lab.

@theo Is there any good place now?
Not Europe Not Middle East Maybe Asian democracies?
@theo @DanielleFong bruh theres like no good places man
The United States is no longer the best place to build an AI lab.

@theo dumbass take of all coming out of this

@theo Not trying for a gotcha (ok maybe a little) but where then? The EU (don’t they already have a bunch of regulations on models)

@theo Canada right now

@theo This absolutely sucks for us "third world" engineers who could barely even afford to pay for these models, and nothing even remotely close to this could be developed locally.
Had finally forked out $200 for Max 20x after deliberating for days... 😭

@theo The US is more communist than China for AI. Crazy.

@theo As a Canadian, the chance that the power and water infrastructure that would be needed to host the data centers would ever be built is … low

@theo mistral, history has given you a second chance. please don’t fumble it again

@theo Oh I forgot it exists. Maybe!

The US remains the best place to build an AI lab. However, Anthropic is clearly using ideology and propaganda to control and steer public opinion. Just the other day, they went as far as embedding their own values into the model's output and even secretly degrading the model's quality to influence the results users receive. This is an extremely dangerous signal.

@ItsTheDaybreak @theo Are you a real adult person? Because they clearly said why they didn't release the Mythos and why it took them time and $ to release Fable. This is the only company that refused the US government unlimited access to their top models and disclosed info about AI dangers.

@theo Yeah, Trump has made America a hostile place to do business. You either agree with him 100% or he abuses his power in every way possible to crush you at the tax payers expense. He needs to be booted out of office.

@theo Nah, it still is. Just can't have a holier than thou bullshitter of a CEO trying to stand on a soapbox dictating to the government for PR.

@theo where is there a higher concentration of talent and funding than SV?
