Kimi K3, the new model released from a Chinese startup company is so good that it surpasses frontier US Ai models on several benchmarks.

It is nearly a Fable level Ai.

For context Fable was recently restricted by the Trump administration due to national security concerns, that's how good it is.

The best part is, the Kimi team is releasing the model to the public so that anyone can run it independently. This completely undermines the business model of Anthropic and Openai, and rocked the US stock market.

Interesting. All this talk about how AI will improve people's live and increase productivity from these bozos, yet as soon as China states that AI should be developed as a "public good" it becomes a dystopian hellscape. Almost as if the point of AI development in the US, and in the capitalist west as a whole, isn't to improve people's live, but rather to enrich the tech bros peddling their AI models.

This tech bro is really giving the game away. "Dystopian hellscape" i.e. my stock options are going to be worthless, even though I'm guaranteed to continue living the most comfortable life anyone has ever dreamed of

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 75 points 3 weeks ago

Anyone who thinks anything provided by the state as a public service is "dystopian" and especially if they think it rises to the level of "hellscape" needs to be shoved into an oubliette and drowned in piss and shit

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 54 points 3 weeks ago

Especially if what they're talking about is open source AI people can run on their own systems.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 45 points 3 weeks ago

yeah like literally the only negative with that is the guy speaking can't make money off it

[-] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed. Go in the Omelas hole and get Omelased

Allegedly someone who worked on Kimi is Che-posting over this model:

Interesting how the hellscape these American companies are creating isn't considered a "dystopia" by them, but China releasing AI models to the public apparently is.

This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape

[-] miz@hexbear.net 35 points 3 weeks ago

a dystopian hellscape is when this person hasn't been flattened by a huge boulder

I need a source on that quote from the OpenAI exec. Its so fucking salty,.

[-] Kereru@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Most of the techbros actually getting mad at point #5 because "muh free markets" lol https://x.com/deanwball/status/2078133895766114412

I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks.

Open-weight models are inherently decelerationist

Still, in the end, open-weight models deter further AI capex [capital expenditure]

You just need to direct every agency to issue soft law that creates FUD.

Man you weren't kidding. Capitalist follows capitalist ideology to logical conclusion upsetting other capitalists.

if housing were treated as a public good and part of civic infrastructure, it would be a dystopian hellscape for all us housing speculators and landlords!

[-] SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 weeks ago

What a strange use of the word accelerationism...

I haven't used it since it noticed I don't have google play services. I wonder if it works with microg etc. Was a month ago or so

american capitalism has always been a huge bummer other than the defense industry, which is probably just cuz we throw more money at those problems than anyone else. the best electronics were always japanese; the best cars were always european or japanese. what would be different with AI?

if you take nation state horseshit out of the equation, the best outcome would be to share all these ideas and get as many eyes and minds on the problem as possible. for all you know, the person who creates the singularity is some dude from tanzania who's currently mining diamonds; it's definitely not gonna be some brainless nepo baby.

these people are all up their own assholes, and it's gonna sink the entirety of humanity.

these doofs would be arguing about open sourcing the lightbulb or television and pearl-clutching about 'at what cost?'

hi, i'm an open weight models advocate!

i'm more concerned with all these nerds lurking about who say shit like that with a straight face. we used to shove these guys in lockers for a reason.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

They should definitely be shoved in something barbara-pit

I think many of them just don't know what they're doing.

Uh, no, we've known all along where this is headed because we aren't fucking brain-dead. Did any of these morons ever read a book?
