american capitalism does nothing to protect copyright but does everything to protect interests the system literally allowed for whole of genlib to be used as training data
I've been using Kimi K3 for ~16 hours now. The model is clearly good at a lot of different things (especially frontend), but non obvious reason why people are enjoying it so much is that it clearly does not follow the same rules in terms of safeguards and copyright. Kimi will happily clone MacOSX. If you ask it to help you improve another AI model, it will do it with a smile on its virtual face. Ask Fable to do the same thing? It literally starts to perceive you as a criminal committing a war crime (like no bro, all I want to do is fine tune an open source model). After using all three recent releases, Fable, GPT 5.6, and now Kimi, it's clear that the full power of the models has been significantly held back by the safeguard restrictions caused by last months debacle with the USG -- leading to the top models being quite literally lobotomized in some areas, which leads to subpar results as the safeguards pollute its entire thinking and problem solving abilities. The funny part? Is that you could have predicted this outcome 2-3 years ago when you started to see the rise of Chinese EVs and smartphones compared to western alternatives. They quite literally tried to copy the Tesla Model S and iPhone as hard as possible and then eventually it started to diverge to the point where their EVs and phones are just genuinely better (which is why we have export controls banning their EVs, because they would literally drive all US manufacturers to ZERO) There is a very clear behavior difference in Chinese capitalism and American capitalism. American capitalism tries to protects copyright, patents, etc (oh no, you can't download a book through LibGen, that's ILLEGAL!). Versus Chinese capitalism actually just does not give a fuck. "Hey you want a video gen model (Seeddance 2.5) trained on every single anime ever? And you want the main character to look exactly like Messi? Sure, here you go!" You see what I mean? When one half of the competition is being held up by regulators and restrictions on people who don't understand the technology and the other half has a leader who quite literally today said they are going to set up AI centers around the world to help other countries onboard to their open-source AIs, this is the sort of results that you will start to get. These models were not smart enough to have this difference in philosophy matter -- but the newest class of models is where this difference makes a big deal. If these models are finally at the point where they are smarter than 99% of humans, why would you want to use the American one who tries to impose its world view onto you versus the Chinese one who will just do what you say without asking any questions? And this isn't a full on bullpost on Kimi, the model is clearly not as smart as Fable / GPT 5.6 on things like math and science, but it's lack of handcuffs means that it can show the world what the frontier labs are gatekeeping from you and that starts to build customer resentment and loyalty towards the East, which is probably not what the USG wants. Interesting times. Interesting times, indeed.

100s of thousands of little girls lives a tragedy unfolding over decades this is unbelievable and still reads like some twisted plot of a horror movie, how is this not the main story for every major british news outlet? what am i getting wrong here? karl popper was right

I have now read the Rape Gang Inquiry Report in full. I've been following this story quite closely for something like a decade so I'm not exactly surprised by its contents, but three elements stand out to me amongst the horror. The first is that a large majority of the victims who provided testimony describe some kind of troubled or disrupted home life. Some were molested by family members before the rape gangs ever got ahold of them. Others faced physical abuse, neglect, drug addicted parents, housing instability, and so on. Their testimony often describes a kind of "screening" process where a girl's particular vulnerability was evaluated with more moderate boundary pushing before escalation to full on rape and abuse. This isn't necessarily surprising given the nefarious intentions the gangs had for these girls, but their willingness to explicitly target the absolute most vulnerable children who were already struggling sickens me. These girls, more than anyone, needed some kind of adult guidance in their lives, and this vulnerability was cynically exploited to initiate them into an even more egregious Hell. Which brings me to the second detail, which is the extreme violence these girls were subjected to. "Grooming Gang" is an unacceptable euphemism that may accurately describe common initiatory tactics employed against these girls, but which criminally downplays the behavior of their abusers once initiated. These girls were not "merely" groomed into sex. They were not "merely" raped. They were not "merely" trafficked. They were subjected to a program of overtly racialized sexual torture and humiliation designed to maximally degrade them and kill them in their souls. And this was "acceptable" because they were White and not Muslims. This detail fundamentally alters the character of these crimes. This was not horny men out of control or even cross-cultural understanding gaps around the age of consent. This was a targeted program of ritualized torture and subjugation as a means of ethnic domination. In other words, these gangs are conducting war against the White British using serial child rape and torture as a form of conquest. These are not crimes in the conventional sense. These are war crimes being conducted by one civilization against another, and they need to be treated as such. And finally, the third point (encapsulated in the excerpt below) is that every single level of the state utterly failed these girls in the most egregious and unfathomable ways imaginable. It's one thing when you have no physical evidence and are confronted with a "he said / she said" situation with respect to a rape allegation. It's another thing entirely when you have a pre-teen frequent flier at the NHS back again for her Nth sexually transmitted disease treatment, a 13 year old with broken glass shards embedded in her vagina, or a pregnant 13 year old. These are cases with obvious alarming physical evidence that no one addressed in any meaningful way. Politicians (Labour in particular) covered it up and suppressed action into investigations in order to maintain the Islamic bloc vote. Police suppressed investigations, dismissed accusations and evidence, intimidated victims into silence, arrested victims for the crimes of their abusers, dismissed proven cases of rape with impotent warning letters, and in some cases directly raped the girls themselves. Care homes disregarded obvious signs of abuse (including outright confessions), and enabled their abusers to maintain consistent access to the girls, in some cases acting more like pimps than caregivers. Social workers addressed victims' needs so incompetently they recommended victims audition for a TV show role about being a child prostitute because it was "relatable" and even attended a victim's coerced sham marriage to her abuser. NHS staff consistently failed to do anything in the face of overt medical evidence of obvious, undeniable sex crimes against these girls, treating the acute problem and sending them on their way with no protection whatsoever. And teachers, much like the social workers, routinely delivered their students into the predatory arms of their abusers as they waited outside the schools, and utterly failed to appropriately address signs or confessions of abuse. Virtually every arm of the state is directly complicit in exacerbating the abuse. Not one single institution at any level reliably offered protection or recourse to these girls. As far as I am concerned I Restore government would be entirely justified in firing every single person in the employ of the state. If they are not a documented whistleblower they are complicit and thus compromised, and none of them have any business retaining their roles or their pensions. On the contrary large numbers of state officials deserve severe penalties for criminal negligence or outright complicity in these crimes. Justice for these crimes will necessarily take place at a scale that will shock the pacified sensibilities of the over-socialized Liberal West, but nothing short of a biblical level reckoning will be sufficient to qualify as justice in this case. @RupertLowe10 is not wrong to draw comparisons to the Holocaust. It is the only appropriate frame of reference in the popular zeitgeist that articulates the actual magnitude of what was allowed to take place under successive British governments. Nor is he wrong to propose the reinstatement of the death penalty as the appropriate restitution for these crimes. The rapists and state officials who enabled this atrocity both deserve to hang. And I pray that the British public will entrust Rupert with the power to deliver justice long overdo. In any case I am deeply appreciative of his efforts to bring this to light. He is the hero Britain needs right now. Vote Restore. Deliver these girls justice.

this is the problem AI solves it's $8,000 to get in to the world cup final match but for less than $7,000 in tokens, i can ask Claude Fable 5 to simulate 15,000 world cup matches and build me a 3D simulation of each one, that i can watch from the comfort of my own home, or at a bar if i ask the bartender nicely to let me plug my laptop in to the TV that leaves me an extra $1,000 to spend on whatever i want, like food or a movie or going to a football match explain to me how FIFA is supposed to survive the tidal wave of AI disruption again?

Congratulations to SpaceX on today’s $75B IPO, the largest ever brought to market. Goldman Sachs is honored to have served as lead left bookrunner on this transaction, but more than that, we are proud of the strong partnership our people have built with the SpaceX team over the long term. I’ve known Elon for more than 15 years, as have several of my colleagues, and it’s been incredible to see his vision come to life and to work with Gwynne, Bret, and the entire team. We are excited as SpaceX enters this new chapter of its journey as a public company, and we look forward to supporting their mission of advancing the frontier of human space exploration.

slack was bad, but its getting worse and worse due to endless ai slop, as they say you got to fight fire with fire, schedule your automatic notification with claude cowork, at least as long as the subsidies last it's worth it

if you are a founder and went through this, know, it happens to some vcs too
ok before the group therapy ends, 3 more LP stories first, an older middle aged indian man - mind you, was my first LP call: - he spent 20min (out of a 30min call) talking about himself, - then mentioned, somebody I know, who pitched him, name dropped 30 times in 5 minutes and I did not mention any names yet, he asked me bluntly if I know or am affiliated with any famous people - he asked me why do I think I can get great dealflow if I am not part of the Stanford, Harvard etc ivy networks. He basically articulated out loud his biases. Anyone who knows me, or my life story knows I don't wait to "get" anything, I believe in freedom to shape your own destiny, I have a bias for action - towards the end of the call he told me I am old and basic and I am wasting my time trying to build a firm second, an older middle aged white man - asked me if I believe in God and wrote down something, - then proceeded, to pitch his son to me instead - he did not pitch his son for an investment but as a potential husband who needs "a strong woman" who can take care of the wealth that he has created third, again an older middle aged white man - asked me if my firm is an impact fund - because almost half of my portfolio companies are led by female founders and the first investment I did was a female CEO. - For the record, she is someone who has had an undeniable career, at a startup from day one all through IPO, and it's one of the most defining infrastructure companies of our lifetime, someone who attracted top talent from before she even incorporated it's tough to fundraise no matter what, but those going through it, don't give up, knowing who you are and why you are doing this, will bring immense strenght

for the optimist to make money, they need to survive markets going down after they went up also in the true sv fashion the third option is that markets are irrelevant in a post singularity world, but that one is reserved for the true believers
there are basically only two trades; 1. light AGI pilled — the markets are failing to price the incredible productivity gains, margin expansion, etc 2. dark AGI pilled — the markets are failing to price the coming violence, destabilization, currency and nation state effects,etc

A big failure pattern in the Web 2.0 era was making it extremely easy to do things that sadly no one wanted to do. A big failure pattern in the AI era is automating entire processes+workflows that actually no longer need to happen.

we might need more positive spin they had to move troops around the defence line during ww1 to avoid the two sides getting to know each other, since if fighters would stay for long periods in the same position, they would make contact eventually and not shoot at the other side
One day there will be peace again in Europe🕊🌍. Hope for a better life. If there was a stronger 700 million European Federation🇪🇺⭐ a real unified Superpower with an army of 2.9 million, instability and conflicts could have been avoided... Federal Europe is Our destiny!
