I guess now we know how China could iterate so fast on all those cheaper open weight models.
Using one of these is profiting from the proceeds of a violation of export control.
@jalefkowit Which ones are illegally circumventing export restrictions?
@jalefkowit No it won't. Punishment is for the poor and the political enemies.
@jalefkowit I'm going to need a bigger bag of popcorn kernels.
@jalefkowit Do they not divide up and blend the money with money from other sources in order to get triple-a grade credit default swaps ...
Sorry, somewhere there I slipped back in time to the noughties sub-prime mortgage musical chairs game, but I'm sure this time it's all going to be completely different!
@jalefkowit I mean, fingers crossed on that outcome, yeah.
