Üniversite ortasına kadar evvel ciddi Kemalist idim. "YÖN'cü" idim! Beni yetiştiren en iyi hocalarım ekseri kemalist idi. Galatasaray Üniversitesi'nde "Atatürkçü Düşünce Kulübü" kurma fikrini ilk ortaya atan ve bu konuda girişimlerde bulunan kişiyim. Bir "kişi kültü" yaratılması ve gereğinden fazla otoriter eğilimler beni Kemalizm'e karşı çok tepkili hale getirdi. Fakat asla ilkelerine değil! Temelde; Atatürk'ün hem kişisel; hem ilkesel pek çok özelliğini savunurum. "tam bağımsızlık"; "özgürlük aşkı"; abartmamak ve yerinde kullanılması şartıyla "devletçilik" ve elbette olmazsa olmaz, Atatürk'ün en büyük başarısı ve mirası olan Cumhuriyetçilik ve hatta "bir ölçüde" laiklik! Laiklik anlayışındaki katılık; belki uygulamadan ileri gelen abartılar ve bir dizi başka olgu yüzünden "Kemalistim" demekten utanır; Kemalizme şiddetle muhalefet eder oldum. Bunları neden yazma ihtiyacı duydum? A...

Why China is so "benevolent" about AI? Why Chinese Companies release open source local models? I've been thinking for a long time. I had a very basic explanation. With help of Gemini, I could write a detailed, informative article I asked this question to Gemini. It gave me a very nice, detailed and interesting answer; yet, i still have an additional explanation at the end: The perceived "benevolence" of Chinese companies in releasing open-source Local Language Models (LLMs) is driven by a complex mix of strategic national interests, commercial goals, and a response to the global AI competition, rather than purely altruistic motives.1 Here are the key reasons why Chinese companies are releasing open-source models: 1. Strategic National Interest and Self-Reliance Countering US Export Controls: Facing US restrictions on advanced semiconductors and other critical technologies, China is focused on building an "independent and controllable" domestic AI ec...
Can a "four-star donkey" would produce better strategy than Pentagon Generals? Leader of the Turkish MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) suggested "Turkish-Russian-Chinese Alliance". Is it a sign of the apocalypse? Think of a nation whose history with the Chinese goes back more than 3,000 years. And think of a nation—I don't know of another example in the world—that wrote on its most fundamental historical stone inscriptions (the Orkhon Inscriptions): "Beware of the Chinese people! First they come with soft silk cloths and sweet words! If you are deceived by these, they will later show their true face!" Think of a nation that has fought so much with the Russians that it came up with the proverb, "You can't get fur from a bear, or a friend from a Muscovite!" It has branded these two nations as "enemies," and embedded this into its cultural genetic code! For the Russians, this also represents the product of a specific effort. It...
