i wonder what you guys think about the open weight chinese AIs that are directly competing with the big tech AIs, isnt it a good idea to support projects that have open source and open weight only to make them more advanced than the closed ones from greedy billionaires? i say that because the AI bubble is a huge threat for the elites currently, and if we support their competition it might finally pop.
and the outcome will be a decentralized thing rather than they succeeding on replacing jobs and ruining our lives more than they already do. what yall think about this idea? remember that this is an economic war in the end, and the only way to take down the ones we despise is by decentralizing everything they want to centralize.
im asking this because i noticed people here in lemmy.zip are (justifiably) anti-ai… but only begging the govs that are directly lobbied by the elites wont work. we cannot bet on the government to bite the hand that feeds them.
Pros:
Most of them are open weight and self hostable.
Its cool to see a non USA company competitior .
Cons:
Even open weight AI (LLMS) have some ethics problems (i.e, training on everything that is a copyright violation)
well yeah true, but the difference is that it wont be owned by the elites and they wont have more power than they could have if the best tools were theirs and only theirs.
