It rewards blatant corruption? What's the benefit is the bigger question.

The benefit is that inside information becomes public information. The reward for the insider is just the necessary incentive for that to happen.

Has there ever been any documented circumstance where significant inside information became public and known thanks to a trade? Most often, the trade is made at the last minute, and the information gets subsequently revealed anyway. And it's impossible to tell whether somebody is an inside trader, a wealthy gambling addict making a stupid decision, or hypothetically a foreign agent pretending to be an inside trader to make people believe in a particular outcome.

It's impossible to know anything for certain; almost everything is probabilistic.

Also I'm not sure how to interpret your criteria because timing matters, I don't think saying 'it gets revealed in the end' is very meaningful.

Anyway, on Polymarket specifically, sure, military strikes are a common one. Seems like a useful signal to go hide in the basement. Outside Polymarket, there were insider trades in 2008 that I'm sure were useful.

I'm not sure being beholden to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party is an iota better than the whims of proprietary megacorps, especially given this probably will become part of a megacorp anyway.

It seems you missed the point entirely once you saw the word "Chinese". The point isn't that the models are from China. It's that the weights are open. You can download the weights and finetune them yourself. Nobody is beholden to anything.

Finetuning the weights doesn't eliminate bias though. Just seems like a bandaid.

When YouTube is replacing translations with AI-generated ones or if Drive is using all your personal documents as training data, that can definitely drive people away.

I mean, you're also telling them almost every site you visit. That's strictly worse from a privacy perspective than blocking ads outright.

It would just cut the rates they'll pay to account for the erroneous clicks. I guess that might just be limited to defunding the sites popular with the really techy group of people that use Adnauseam and instead shift to niches with better effectiveness.

It's actually down to $3.8B in profit now, and will be losing money within a year at the rate its been losing profitability.

Nobody was pressing (or even alleging) crimes by the sheriff AFAIK.
