Lindy Teammate: Flo Crivello on Multiplayer Agents, Memory & Why He'd Ban the Chinese Models He Uses
""I am in support of a sweeping ban of Chinese models on US soy seems and I have yet to hear a compelling counter argument right now.""
Crivello argues that Chinese frontier models should be banned in the US even though Lindy uses DeepSeek by default. He cites alleged unfair distillation of US models, censorship concerns (including responses on Tiananmen Square), and the risk of Chinese systems acting as an “instrument of foreign propaganda” or operating “chunks of the American economy”.
