alt Hacker NewsAccording to OpenAI's "head of strategic futures":
1) Kimi 3 is a "very good model"
2) It's performance can NOT be explained by distillation
3) The US government should create FUD to stop US corporations from using it (so they use OpenAI instead)

Fascinating take from OpenAI. It really gives the lie to the idea that they see AI leading to a better life for all.
"One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism, which is precisely what China proposes: rather than a market product, AI is a 'public good' which will ultimately be provided by the state as a kind of 'digital public infrastructure.' This future strikes me as a dystopian hellscape, but I've never met an open-weight models advocate who doesn't ultimately concede this is where things end."
He never says why he thinks AI as a "public good" is dystopian, but it's not hard to imagine why. It's because he and his inner circle won't have the power to dictate what we read, see and hear.
