It was still a remarkable moment. Who knew an open weight model release could have that kind of impact?
and it will not be a singular event imo.

NVIDIA lost ~$593bn in market cap as investors panicked that AI maybe wasn’t an American monopoly after all.
yup. key phrase, much of the AI bubble is the presumption of US monopoly. Watching other, sometimes less visible efforts is important wrt autonomy, sovereignty

Nel mio libro, questo conduce a costruire un progetto di liberazione dal dominio delle mega-piattaforme attuali e suggerisce la possibilità di costruire molte piattaforme alternative a quelle gigantesche e sfruttatrici che attualmente costituiscono il sistema dei media. Nel libro di Ferraris, questo conduce a una proposta di redistribuzione del valore dei dati, in funzione di un progetto politico che porti a un nuovo, moderno, sistemico e pragmatico comunismo.
Luca compares two books (his and Ferraris') in how they solve that relative value problem. Luca by proposing dismantling the dominant platforms and replace them with a multitude of others (as the volume of personal data aids its exploitation I presume, spreading it out means having to collect it and collection is costly if users don't actively bring it to you already). Ferraris proposes otoh an active redistribution of the value gained as political project a new 'pragmatic' and modern communism. De Biase proposal seems more achievable imo (in the sense that we're already doing it)
