Recently it was found that Qwen was dialing back home once in a while. It cannot be proven that it does not take commands from home if it can establish connection.

I'm pretty sure, the training/fine tune through Claude/OpenAi would not be possible without the army/China's hacking teams (and legal protection). So it's more than just a cheap electricity.

Supporting deepseek is just like supporting the Chinese army, no need for that. Though it goes both ways, OpenAi subscription just lowers the cost of the US army as well.

Re:I accidentally turned LLM memory into program analysis on Saturday August 29, 2026 @10:30PM (#49495150)
I would not necessarily call it genetic programming. But you can discover the same pattern e.g. for human knowledge. We have a domain language for math and when we go deeper we will have domain language for algebra, discrete math etc.. and we could go even further to breaking it to even for more specific areas simply to compact the information to deliver. The goal is more and precise information with less words, it might be for communication or to be able to fit the knowledge into the processing capacity. So for me it is not like the advances in programing languages, but more like to compacting information/representation with domain language. It's similar but not quite genetic programming.

except in vsc, there it cannot do it
Same here, always thrived for the team and stick with the motto to make yourself replaceable. In this way i felt always free that i can move on if needed, had cheerful mates around me, and was the most appreciated person around as well. Even at amazon where people competing even with teammates, we have competed together helping each other. It was an amazing experience compared with what i saw in other teams.
Different outlets are controlled by different people some are more loyal to Xi, but ultimately none of them can go wild. Even in this case the news have been removed quickly and Dr. Ai Fen disappeared as well:
