cloneofsimo · x · 2026-08-07

He emphasizes that the entire modern AI paradigm is a byproduct of the generous open-source sharing from US tech companies, making the framing that they don't contribute fundamentally wrong. He also points out that the industry actively publishes at academic conferences, contributing no less than academia itself.
