1. How do you know?
2. How do you know they're not themselves the targets of sabotage?
Im not sure where this attitude comes from on hackernews. It goes beyond being critical of the US.
Distilling models is fine. Thats just what Anthropic are doing anyways.
These Chinese models are great. Down with proprietary US models.
The US government shouldn’t protect itself from potential attack vectors from China
Maybe not sabotaging government per se, but US citizens and literally everybody else (>95% of the mankind)? Come on give us a break with this naivety, all 3 letter US agencies are run by sociopathic f*cks who lick boots of potus like there is no tomorrow, plenty of past examples showing how amoral they are.
Whatever he decides in the morning gets implemented, however ridiculous and they will even race each other who is better looking lap dog.
