You’re forgetting the energy part of the equation.

The point of open weight models is not having to rely on specific providers for them.

reply


For now open weight models are legal. Conceivably the government could claim that an open weight model "contained" forbidden information and simply ban it. We live in authoritarian times.

It sounds like you’re both agreeing that windows should be controlled by either the user OR the OS, not both.

reply


I can't see a practical world where the OS doesn't need to take control of window positioning in certain situations. As a core example, there is full screen. Minimize is another, but that doesn't have a clean analogue in the tiled universe.

There's a natural strong reaction folks have to window managers, because it forces you to mentally remap at such a foundational level.

I prefer tiled managers because the user offloads most responsibility. Open something and by default it uses as much space as is available. If you have a special need, you can float or resize, but the vast majority of cases it makes the right call.

At heart, it's offloading cognitive load. They're more predictable and require less faffing around.

You're asking why they wouldn't pivot to making a regular EV, but I think the Apple way is to ask why they SHOULD make a regular EV.

They could do a lot of things that would make money. The hard part is figure out which ones to say no to.


Apple public transit?


I believe AWS forwards requests (for Clause models) to Anthropic’s servers. They don’t host those models.


Do you not feel concern about you and everybody else deciding to put ALL of their eggs into one basket like this?


I would bet money that most people who use CF now are already hosting their endpoints at a single provider. I don't think most people care until it actually becomes enough of a problem.


Like AWS/GCP/Azure?


Sometimes you have to stand for something even if it’s inconvenient.


It's working too. All my friends stopped using Facebook for similar reasons. My feed went from a 24/7 pleasant reunion to a fetid swamp and now I also have stopped using it.

> You also don’t systematically evaluate all CEOs of all products to use.

We certainly evaluate companies on their CEOs if their CEOs make themselves high profile enough.

You are certainly judged here if you have a Tesla because of Musk hence why sales have dropped 50%.

Other companies that don't have as high profile CEOs can get away with terrible points of view.


Oh yeah? How is the ceo of your power company? Your refrigerator? Your garage door?

I just am very skeptical any of this is based on a harm based model of morality. Instead it smells like concern about perception or status:

> > Oh yeah? How is the ceo of your power company? Your refrigerator? Your garage door?

If they hide their terrible opinions then its hard to made judgements.


Exactly, so your morality is actually based on media prominence and status, not harm.


Or maybe you’re too trusting of companies who have already proven to not be trustworthy?


Flattening the discussion to “everything is actually exactly the same” isn’t helpful. This situation is not the same as a person driving a vehicle.


Just because you can find good things on these services doesn’t mean it isn’t worth talking about their problems.
