Are there any good ChatGPT alternatives that are not owned by a billionaire or tied to the government?
Deepseek may be build in china but it can be run locally and privately on some beefy gaming hardware.
Currently you need a jailbreak to get trough the cencor but it wont be long till someone derives a new unlocked open source model from it.
Complains about chinese companies tie to the government than do the same as them
I’ve learned that whenever a major US organisation criticises China for something it’s almost always projection.
With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it’s impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There’s too much idiotic “traditionalism” here in the US that’s holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.
It continues to fascinate me how self-proclaimed small-gov libertarians always find themselves making their money off of government.
LLMs are a dead end
I don’t think that we’re going to throw a little more hardware an one and it’s going to suddenly become an AGI, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have considerable utility.
Also, there are a bunch of “composite” systems that have been built in AI research that use multiple mechanisms. Even if you’re off trying to do human-level AI, you may use components in that system that are not themselves fully-capable of acting in such a way.
Like, okay. Think of our own minds. We’ve got a bunch of hard-coded vision stuff, which is part of why we can get weird optical illusions. Our visual processing system isn’t an intelligence on its own, but it’s an important part of letting us function as humans in the world.
Hmmm
Do I flee the country or become a crazy hermit in the mountains
Decisions decisions
Hermit is the more sustainable choice. Other countries seem to be closely following the US lead on fascism.

Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?
Yay
