Not op but that makes perfect sense to me.

"People with mostly bad ideas/execution use Chinese models." Is the point being made.

If you slice it to some measure of success, is the statement "Successful start-ups/companies use Chinese models." still true?

Hmm if you assume the 80% is uniformly distributed between successful and unsuccessful startups/companies, which by default you should, then yeah, your proposed statement is true.

Data would be needed to argue the 80% skews unsuccessful

How does this comparison sound if we use cloud provider?

The Ai is writing code, not executing a startup. The code was never the hard part of startups

  • Deciding to use open models over closed models is a business decision.

    • Using the cheaper model is also a business decision. We don't know why they are using the Chinese models: openness or money or both or a third one?

    • The point is that for many tasks today, and likely all tasks before long, that the open vs closed will not be a differentiator. There are many open models much better than gemini, yet people still use gemini.

      It's like picking AWS vs GCP. Yes it is a business decision, but one that will not likely affect the outcome of the business.
