Chinese open-source models which keep undercutting the American techno-fascists by performing better and more efficiently for free? Awesome. I’m fine with those.
I probably hear so little about their real-world use cases because none of the American press want to upset their capitalist masters, and there’s not a ton of info on my usual Lemmy instances either.
Yeah, western media isn’t a great source on this tech for the most part. And Lemmy tends to mostly attract liberal left which predictably attracted a reactionary position blaming LLMs instead of the underlying capitalist relations. I find Cory Doctorow has been doing a fairly good job covering this in a sober way.

I’ve only heard his takes on this on podcasts. Is his latest book worth reading?
I haven’t read his book on it, just the blog posts he’s been doing on the subject and generally find I agree with him.
