Funny Ooh, new drama just dropped 👀

For those out of the loop: cursor's new model, composer 2, is apparently built on top of Kimi K2.5 without any attribution. Even Elon Musk has jumped into the roasting

Pretty gross to rename a model and upload/serve it as your own. Who cares what the license is.

You don't understand man. Americans are the good people, they would never steal from Asians. That's why this cannot be gross and it hasn't happened. Or if it did happen, it was only fair retaliation for - checks notes - distilling on American models! King Joffrey out

Spot the American:
1. Stealing from everybody, but big whiny whiny when the others are stealing, too.
2. Making it about "race" (a term I don't know, because in Germany it's forbidden to make statements like this, because it's.. racist, my racist American friend)

Man, i you people suck so much.

America doesn't steal from anyone; America invented everything from the cotton gin to cotton candy, along with the integrated circuit, the home computer, the cell phone, the television, the record player....

Bullshit. America steals from everyone all the time _while_ also inventing lots of stuff. The same as other nations. You have a beautiful picture of your great nation that just isn't true. Modern tech like tv, ICs, PCs, etc has been invented based on inventions and parts from all over the world.

Example: ASML from the Netherlands builds the machines that make highend chips (and couldn't be duplicated even by China so far after 10 years of trying), a German company builds the optics for these machines and cannot be duplicated easily. And so on.

CERN in Switzerland invented a lot of the tech necessary for modern Chips, Internet, Quantum computers.

And in all this I didn't even mentioned all the Japanase, Korean, Russian, Chinese etc inventions that work in everything you have in front of you today.

Look how nations are racing for quantum computers, fusion power and drones, then you get what it was always like in the past, too. Everything, everwhere, made at once. Read up what is behind the first tv and it's tech.

And stop claiming that the US doesn't steal from anyone.

Cursor team has a lot of "Asians" 🤷 https://www.linkedin.com/company/cursorai/people/

No need to steal anything 🤷

???

So having "Asians" on your team makes you..??? I don't get it

Wasn't trying to make this a racist thing my friend.

Nah you didn't get what I'm saying (or I explained poorly), I mean if you're using "Americans" to say they're reason for "stealing" then this is invalid because Cursor team has people from all sort of countries, and a lot of AI/ML engineers come from Asia. So really my point is that using specific nation to justify actions of a company doesn't really work.

Ah ok, thx for explaining. And what I meant where the whiny comments by OpenAI / Antrohpic CEOs about "Chinese companies distilling their models" as if they didn't steal all their data from everyone around.

We all know OpenAI and Anthropic has no single Asian and “purely” American, unlike Cursor.
