Chinese AI developers could start charging cloud platforms licensing fees to host their open-weight models, according to Goldman Sachs. Models like Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 and Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2 have reached performance levels close to top US rivals, but developers typically release them for free. https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3362032/chinese-ai-developers-may-shift-paid-weights-commercial-licensing-goldman-sachs #China #Tech #AI

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/116510176457352070

Some years ago when my bike was stolen, I looked into tamper alarms & this was exactly why I dropped the idea: Nothing of the sort existed that didn't rely on some startup basically remaining in business AND behaving in good faith forever.

For those following along at home, that's two things which will never happen.

Yesterday, one of the younger electricians was telling me about the beauty of the new alarm systems he installs. While acknowledging the quality of my current one, he said, "It uses a SIM card and calls you. The new ones are 4G or Wi-Fi and use the cloud, so notifications go straight to your smartphone, it's not calling anymore."

I asked him, "And what if the cloud stops working? Why should I have to depend on the company’s cloud to receive alerts from my alarm? My alarm is 10 years old and works perfectly. Can you say with certainty that the company’s cloud will still be effective 10 years from now?"

He looked puzzled for a moment, then admitted he had never thought about it.

The real problem is that people do not realize what this means until things actually happen.
