Why don't you ask some members of Gen Z why they aren't happy to own nothing?

"top quality" "luddites" Yeah, I'm sure they're top quality.

Just look at the actual track record of China and the United States. Domestically, they're both somewhat oppressive, but one benefit China has is that the government controls the billionaires, and in the US, the billionaires control the government. Internationally, though, there is no comparison at all. The US seeks to exploit and dominate other nations: look at Venezuela and the theft of their resources, the attack on Iran, all so the US could control the world's supply of oil and stay rich on the backs of all other nations having to buy oil that they control. China, on the other hand, does business with the world. They build infrastructure in other nations, they HELP them: the US just takes their resources and pays a fraction of their real value. China doesn't go around invading other nations: the US places military bases all over the world and calls other nations aggressors for not liking it. The US has been at war for most of its 250 year existence. Time for someone else to take the lead.

I'm not even going to read the rest of the comment. This is an insane thing to say. Deranged to such an extent that I hope you are on a payroll.

Ever been to the DRC? China's influence there isn't what I'd call great. There are no saints in geopolitics.

Claims from the US government, whose credibility is hardly beyond reproach, especially when it comes to China.

"The end result of that is much, much worse for the USA."

And therefore, much better for the world. Look at what the US has done with its dominance: maintained a petrodollar empire while steadfastly denying that such an empire exists, attacking countries that step out of line, murdering at will. Trump just made it obvious what the US did, and was blatant in his evil, but he was just continuing what other presidents did before him.

Which is a good thing. I think it's insane to see so many comments along the lines of, we have to keep China from becoming the world leader in GPUs and AI tech instead of the US. Really? Why? Look at the evil the US has used its AI for. It's time for a more ethical nation to take the lead, and better for the world.

What's the particular model called? Do you know if it's available on HF, or if they've gotten rid of all the abliterated models?

Ive been smoking for a renaissance group's feast I'm part of. 60 lbs of meat. And I've not been on my computer most of the day.

Yeah it's on HF. Just look up qwen-3.8-flash-next abliterated.

That person is right to be angry with StackOverflow for that, and another comment explains that StackOverflow was editing their words but still claiming that they them. That can cause reputational damage. StackOverflow should have been sued over that.

That's not the problem, the problem is electing politicians who immediately renege on their promises as soon as they're elected and don't represent the interests of the people who voted for them.

It always has been the case that some new labor skills emerge, but that only has to be wrong once. And given that how it's always worked is that the new skills used brainpower to make centaurs of people, to use Cory Doctorow's term, that might not happen this time.

That's a fair way to think about it.

Most technologies seemed doom and gloom, and also have absorbed existing jobs for new ones, and current LLMs as AI is a bigger sponge than usual.
