I use sci-hub because it is quicker and easier than logging into my multiple legal affiliation’s library accounts, navigating through their janky web portals and search tools, and then finding out I need to switch to a different acclint/library /catalogue /whatever to read the paper.

I feel like the cat is way out of the bag on this. Stable diffusion can be run locally. Hugging Face has over 15,000 models labelled with image generation.
- Comment on Weaver: New Specialised Writing LLMs Outperform GPT-4 7 months ago:
It’s doesn’t seem to be. Their Chinese website talks about buying AI creidts, their English website only has a waitlist but this looks more like a new closed product than anything else.
Also, check the appendix in the paper, I think it’s a bit concerning that the second author is responsible for the writebench benchmark they use to make their claims about the model. That is, the evaluation isn’t independent from the authors. I mean, I’m not saying they’re not right, just that this is a yellow flag to investigate more.
A. Appendix A.1. Author Contributions Tiannan Wang is the core contributor of Weaver. Tiannan is responsible for continual pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and preference optimization. Tiannan is also a main contributor for the data synthesis and the benchmark/evaluation process.
Jiamin Chen is a main contributor of Weaver. Jiamin is responsible for WriteBench and is also main contributor for data synthesis and model evaluation process

- Comment on Honda and Mitsubishi will test a fuel cell-powered data center in Japan 8 months ago:
Leaked hydrogen (H2) also binds to oxygen to create water vapor, which is a problem because GHG also binds to oxygen or OH and becomes neutralized. Some studies peg Hydrogen leakage at scale as being 100x worse, in the short term, than CO2 for warming due to this impact.

- Comment on Windows 12 and the coming AI chip war 8 months ago:
I feel like patched is some preprocessing that detects my subterfuge rather than changing the core model.
