I dislike how disenting opinions get downvoted on Lemmy/technology probably more than even on reddit.

Everything you said is factually correct.

I disagree that it means they should be banned but they take money from corporations to produce slopaganda, that’s just true, and even beyond that their videos are well animated but the moment they touch a subject you actually know about you realize they are just internet researched videos that go a little more in depth that reading the Wikipedia page but it doesn’t seem they actually understand what they are talking about, which is fine except that’s not what they present themselves as (same with CPG Greg)

They’re losing money, like cloud I doubt having OpenSource code would have much of an impact on the average consumer (maybe if they fully opened they weights it would have an impact but even then, they could delay the release a few months/versions and keep like 99% of the paid customers) being closed is more about stock valuation, they have to pretend to have a bunch of secret sauce/source that is worth infinity dollars.

The meat of the article is behind the paywall.

My theory is that

  1. China has better integration between academia and industry - I’m mostly basing this off how in the US the academia is chronically underinvested so that the private sector can get it’s plunder of smart graduates, but when it comes to AI development you actually need academic knowledge of intelligence otherwise you’re just approaching it like an engineering problem

  2. US companies are incentivized to spend more, the more broke they are the smarter they seem, so there isn’t really any incentive to improve in smart ways because you can just rack up a bigger bill with your investors and keep the circular economy going.

Would love to know what the recipe says though.

Seems unlikely.

I don’t understand the desire on the left to pretend there are no clout chasers that take up left causes just for clout, I guess it’s easier to pretend everyone that does a bad thing while being vaguely aligned with us is “controlled opposition” than to think critically or even just read the article.

Occupy might have been different I wasn’t there but I suspect 95% of the wild anecdotal shit either didn’t happen or was done by a leftist who believed some dumb shit.
