I think the problem is more with using PRIVATE repos. My letters are also private and I would be pretty pissed if the mail carrier was reading them. Why does GitHub think it has the right to do this?
I thought some of those polling numbers would be higher. Do people really think it serves a purpose for tech companies to hold ALL the wealth? People must have heard a bit about economics in high school and figured there was no need to think critically beyond that.
This is great, I've been trying to figure this stuff out recently.
One thing I do wonder is what sort of solutions there are for running your own model, but using it from a different machine. I don't necessarily want to run the model on the machine I'm also working from.
You’re not alone. I was wondering recently why I keep coming back here. The community that made it interesting seems to have moved on as popularity has taken off. Your typical tech worker has also changed as well which is likely part of the reason it doesn’t feel the same.
I see a future where AI is much less useful, either by human behavior or government regulation. We are only at the beginning of whatever this new period is.
> While the US certainly isn't pure, its scale of surveillance intrusion is light compared to China
I assume that for someone to believe this, they either have to believe the U.S. has poorer surveillance capability than China, or, more likely, they consider U.S. surveillance unintrusive and Chinese surveillance intrusive.

Of course. What's the point of surveillance if you're not going to use it to enforce dogma? I think you can reasonably evaluate a country's surveillance by looking at the pettiness of the arrests & censorship they make.
See this chinese tech reviewer[1] being bullied by the government for putting a spotlight on chinese phone makers cheating about benchmarks. I'm not sure the US is at this point yet...

Plenty of signs point towards this being a case where it wasn't the government, so it's not a good example. Instead it looks to have been the tech companies filing takedowns and threatening lawsuits. Especially when it comes to China, this is a big difference.
You should've pointed towards more clear-cut examples like Naomi Wu and Peng Shuai. But those cases are less unthinkable in the US, and it should be uncontroversial to say that it's what's been worked towards.
