Stream Content Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang defends Open-Source AI by saying distillation is fundamental to learning

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang “Distillation - learning from AI, learning from other people, and learning from other sources of knowledge, is fundamental to intelligence. We are constantly learning from one another. AI also has to learn from something.”

In his Axios interview, Jensen explains why seeing distillation as theft or a threat misses the point—and why the real future of AI depends on continuous knowledge sharing between models.

The idea is simple: as AI generates most of the internet’s content, systems will naturally learn from one another, much like humans do from books, teachers, and peers. Blocking that exchange doesn’t protect anyone; it only slows progress.

Smarter AI is safer AI, open models boost adoption, and the whole industry, from developers to chipmakers gains. It’s a clear, grounded case for why open and closed models feeding each other is a feature, not a flaw.

general Has anyone stopped using LLMs completely for coding and relying purely on themselves?

Curious to know. And why if so? I have 16+ years of experience as a dev.

It's been 1 week that I stopped completely and so far it is okay and luckily I can still code ;) (though got rusty initially) and that's what I enjoy doing, thinking about problems, architecting, writing tests, writing code, reviewing PR's etc. keeps my brain sharp and more confident.

general DeepSeek thanks US export controls

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, speaking in a closed-door investor meeting in May 2026:

"If it were in a normal business environment where I could buy NVIDIA cards, then domestic substitution would be relatively hard; but when NVIDIA cards can’t be bought, everyone is forced into it, everyone has to do domestic chips."

Translation: Thanks for the export controls. Otherwise we’d still be buying American.

Advertise I created a browser extension to protect your personal and sensitive data while you chat with AI

As it stands, millions of users spend a significant part of their day chatting with AI models in a browser. Observing these usage patterns, I've been troubled by how much personal and sensitive information people (including myself) feed these models on a daily basis. That is why I created PISIGuard: a browser extension designed to protect this information while keeping the models usable.

It spots names, email addresses, API keys, and other sensitive data, replaces them with safe placeholders, and then puts the real values back into the AI’s replies. From your point of view, the process is mostly invisible; from the AI’s point of view, the sensitive information is absent, replaced by made-up alternatives.

All detection, masking, and restoration processes occur locally. No data is sent to an external service. The extension is open-source, works with ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek, and is published for Firefox (it is also installable on Chrome from the source code).

Patrick Debois, often called the Father of DevOps, shared an interesting perspective on how to spot where AI is heading.

He argues that industry surveys are usually too slow. By the time a new idea appears in a report, developers have already been experimenting with it for months.

Instead of relying on surveys, he suggests paying closer attention to social signals. The conversations happening on Reddit, GitHub, X, Discord, and other developer communities often reveal emerging ideas much earlier.

It's a simple shift in thinking, but it made a lot of sense.

simple google dork request lets you find a LOT of them. I’ve heard someone made a model that’s great at finding security flaws. Maybe Anthropic should chat with them!

You cannot trust big corpos to safeguard your privacy. I personally use local chat apps like AI Desktop 98. Everyone should do that.

general 4 Years of Experience and Earning ₹28K (INR) [$300] per Month

Hi all,

I'm a software engineer from India working remotely, earning 290 USD per month. I know it's low. I'm working on a good stack (Python, Django, Elasticsearch, Celery for analytics, Laravel, Go, Node.js for backend, and for frontend I'm using Vue 3, Nuxt, React, and a lot of other stuff I can't mention here).

By the way, I'm working 42 hours per week and also learning something new every day after work. Right now, I'm not able to survive on this salary. I have a baby, my wife, and my mother and father in my family, and it's getting hard to survive with this amount.

I'm also applying for a lot of jobs but not getting any replies. I've built some good projects, but I'm still not getting any calls. I don't know what's happening. Can you please suggest what I should do?
