    I'm also grateful to the Chinese labs for providing workarounds for the walled gardens that the US based AI companies are attempting to create.

    Does anyone know if there are any distillation datasets available? I'd love to see these distributed on BitTorrent. I think it's critical that AI be democratized and not isolated in the hands of a few private companies.

      An authoritarian regime is not your friend and will pullback the moment their own models become highly capable.

        As opposed to what? The US? You think the US is any different? Literally our pedo president publicly admits to insider trading. You think the US government gives a rat's ass about the American people?

          The independent media reports on this and that’s why you know.

          China has zero independent media and has the largest and most sophisticated censorship and surveillance state in the world.

          Trump would love to have the absolute power that Xi has, but thankfully doesn’t.

          Tired of this lazy whataboutism.

            No, actually trump bragged about it on x.

            Trump kicked and banned major news orgs from the White House just now. You’d have to be will fully ignorant or really naive to believe we have fair and just media.
