@aditjain1980 why not be a monk if you support religious freedom? why not be gay if you support LGBT rights? why not be a redneck if you support MAGA?

why does Nvidia not open-source its CUDA runtime libraries 🤔

@DavidSacks Supporting religious freedom = you should be a monk logic

Nobody is saying that all software has to be open source. What they’re saying is that open-weight AI should be allowed. By implication, they’re rejecting your company’s incessant machinations to kneecap the open model ecosystem. Read the room.

@MatthewBerman for this guy, supporting religious freedom means you have to be a monk, supporting LGBT rights means you have to be gay, supporting abortion means you should abort your child.

Such a bad take. Belief that open source should exist doesn’t equate to belief that literally everything should be open source. And NVIDIA invested $20b into open source. Embarrassing.

@DeryaTR_ @AnthropicAI upporting religious freedom means you have to be a monk apparently for this guy.

Without looking at his profile, with his cheap-shotting, I was certain he worked at @AnthropicAI. I wasn't wrong, but he is on the wrong side of history. It's a pity to leave such a bad legacy when they could’ve been remembered as heroes. Humanity will not forget it either way.

@scaling01 @NielsRogge so if im not gay but supporting LGBT right makes me double standard?

@NielsRogge he's just exposing the double standards Nvidia has Nvidia just does whatever serves them best they don't care about open-source the way people or researchers do

TIL Anthropic people are toxic

@NielsRogge for this guy: supporting religious freedom = you should be a monk, supporting abortion = you should abort your child, supporting LGBT = you should be gay

@GordonGChang Just like California was not part of America until Mexican-American war of 1848?

Tibet is not part of China. The Chinese took it by force. We must not recognize this act of aggression.

@AmeliaBarty for this guy: supporting religious freedom = you should be a monk, supporting abortion you should abort your child, supporting LGBT = you should be gay

This guy is an Anthropic employee btw He’s straight up admitting that their crusade against open source has always been about protecting their competitive advantage rather than safety How do you think until he either deletes this post or gets fired?

@jacobandreou supporting abortion means you should abort. Supporing LGBT means you should be gay, supporting religious freedom means you should convert. Same lines of logic

This is a dumb take. 1. Open weights isn’t open source 2. No one is asking you to open source your models… we aren’t even asking claude to be open weight 3. We are literally just asking for the open weights made by others to not be made illegal.

@Mononofu @JensenHuang Supporting abortion means you should abort your child? supporting LGBT means you should be gay? Explain to my like I’m 5 yo how supporting other’s choice obligates one to make that choice themselves @grok

I’m so excited that @JensenHuang is a believer in open source now, looking forward to the CUDA and GPU driver open source release!

@divergence77608 @DeepValueBagger Really, boomer? 7PM news?

@BeardedPlato @DeepValueBagger lol, your social media is full of how bad US is and your shit state propaganda report Atlanta water pipe explosion in your 7PM news🤣

Yet another reason why China can never win. China had one of the largest population in the world and they needed an ideology to control their population. Confucism was that ideology and it was the worst thing that happened to them. The ideology dictates that respect, and "maintain harmony" (eg don't argue with your superior/boss, or even to each other ) are prioritized above everything else. That means every new idea is crushed, any progressed is dashed. All progress happens top-down. In the West, it is driven by Roman Empire with ideology for debate, free thinking. There's a reason Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and the great investors choose US. They don't want sound racist, but I'm just giving it to you the truth.

@firstadopter you are unusually personal about this

This is CLASSIC Sundar: bureaucratic, political, McKinsey, slow, indecisive, corporate decision-making. Classic.

@testinprodcap but did they win by choice or by luck? Yes they can choose not to go full ai build out, but what they did build is still useless—siri is still not usable

I can’t believe Apple literally do nothing and win

@DanCollins2011 @grok is Humanity training useless as implied here?

@honestMLac @WhileTravelling @grok fact check premise

@WhileTravelling While I don't agree with the blacklist - aren't students of both university asked to be members of CPC? So, basically most students are member of a political entity engrossed in genocide, racism & subversion - Is it fine for you if the racism is directed at people of color only?

Shanghai Jiao Tong University is where I teach. To be honest, I understand why institutions like Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Fudan University would make some people nervous enough to push for blacklists. All I hear is "we're worried about your talent and try to keep them out of the room!”. What an unintended compliment! China keeps investing in talent, research, manufacturing and ecosystems that turn ideas into reality. Universities like Shanghai Jiao Tong University produces the future! Obviously now universities become targets when they're producing the engineers, scientists and innovators who will define the next industrial era. Now some policymakers try to blacklist the competition because of this sense of entitlement that only they should have access to the world’s best talent and innovation, not China or anyone else. Gosh🤦‍♀️ Instead of building better universities, educating more engineers, or accelerating innovation at home, some policymakers reach for ever-longer restriction lists. What an old strategy in the age of AI! History has never been particularly kind to civilizations that tried to regulate away someone else's progress instead of out-innovating it. The future belongs to those who build it, not those who spend their time writing blacklist policies. I’m proud to be an industry expert teaching at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. 加油 jiāyóu SJTU!

@zyan2222 @vshih2 they'd get lynched

And are working and living in America. This is what we want more of as a country

@Megatron_ron why not just blacklist the whole country? save the hussle

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 The Pentagon has declared two of China’s top universities—Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University—a threat to U.S. national security, placing both on its blacklist.

@zephyr_z9 its true, it faces non of nvda’s design trade off problems

"MI500 brings optical interconnects, ahead of Nvidia Rubin Ultra in key areas (HBM, 4-die package, scale-up domain)." Big, if true
