More of Musk's ventures need a Gwynne Shotwell. Imagine what Tesla could do with a full-time adult at the helm.

It was not at all “suddenly”. The discussions about explicitly defining value types because escape analysis is insufficient have been going on for at least a decade.

What corpus would one be advised to use for training? Should one limit oneself to legally downloadable documents or should one follow the examples of Altman, Amodei, and Zuckerberg and use LibGen and Anna's Archive?

Wouldn't many potential users in China be limited by the Great Firewall?

Can't find a single person in a Chinese tech company who doesn't know how to bypass GFW.

I am not asking about capability. Aren't there reasons to avoid the scrutiny that might accompany bypassing the Great Firewall? Doesn't this create a chilling effect? Or are you claiming that it has zero effect and citizens of China have zero concerns about using websites and speaking freely?

> Aren't there reasons to avoid the scrutiny that might accompany bypassing the Great Firewall?

One of the reasons to bypass GFW is to avoid scrutiny.

> Doesn't this create a chilling effect?

It doesn't.

> Or are you claiming that it has zero effect and citizens of China have zero concerns about using websites and speaking freely?

Not “zero”, maybe like “0.01”? Better use an anonymous account if you want to criticize on gov.

This has not been my experience working with Chinese citizens. They are mostly very aware that they cannot speak freely.

I have been on Douyin a lot, there is a lot chat rooms for people to debate politics, so it is a 50/50 divide for opinions (for and against). Many of them will say 'China sucks, and US rules'. People learn a way to speak avoiding keywords, if you are not careful, you get kicked out of the chat. Many of them you can tell are against the government, but these are not ordinary people, they probably don't work, and spending most of their time online talking about politics.

> They are mostly very aware that they cannot speak freely.

That's correct, and as I said that's one of the reasons Chinese people bypass GFW.

The last paragraph in my previous comment may not have been clear enough. What I meant was that *after bypassing GFW*, you generally have minimal concern, not *before bypassing GFW*

You seem to believe that every potential interlocutor is bypassing the firewall. I know that many are not, because they are afraid of being caught.

As a Chinese person, I acknowledge that there are restrictions on what can be said, but every country has its own limitations, doesn’t it? Overall, I don’t believe that freedom of speech is heavily restricted in China. Politics is quite distant from the lives of ordinary people, isn’t it?

No. For example, the U.S. has many problems and I would never say it is ideal, but I can openly disagree with the President or the majority party. My understanding is that this is not as easy for citizens of China inside China. Can you openly discuss the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests?

I am very curious about this, not for myself, just for the geopolitical consequences. Does this mean China is making it easy for citizens of other countries to come work there?

This is an interesting data point amidst the anxiety about AI taking all of the jobs. Even OpenAI cannot leverage AI to do product management.

> It's painfully boring and not relaxing at all.

It is a common misconception that the purpose of meditation is to relax. My experience is that meditation is very difficult but has worthwhile benefits for those around me after I meditate.

It does not have to be either one. Zuckerberg is simply not a great leader, apparently. This is not surprising. Few people can run big companies. There is a huge spectrum between "dimwitted" and "great CEO".

> OSS will die because of this

OSS will not die.
