Deepseek fucking all major US tech/semiconductor companies brings a tear to my eye 😊

I hecking looove the chinese. Such beautiful slave labor camps 😌

@12bitfloat I never said the Chinese were ethical, that's besides the point of this rant.

@Demolishun > "The fishy part is the MSM praising this great breakthrough"

I want to upvote this 100 times.

I mean it's a model. A bigass tensor. Sure it can unravel the fabric of society and bring peril to western civilization, but it can't really phone home in a way that isn't easily detectable from the outside, and neither can it fake its performance.

@retoor Deepseek and RISC-V and any other open source technologies that tip the scales of power should be celebrated, the way the US maintains it's dominance is disguising, buying off competition, banning them to use their technology ( like with Huawei )

Look up things like high frequency trading, where trading firms in the US literally spent millions of dollars just to get a spot as close to the datacenter locations as possible where your stock order is split, making a profit off of your order because they have lower latency than you, this video explains it pretty well

But anyway this is the truth behind the US, the top 1% exploiting loopholes to get rich off of every penny they take from you and the US government covering their asses because "we the best"

@UberSalt I mean it's still a black box trained to the taste of a dictatorship so I would definitely be careful with it. I call this level of access open-weights, because it sure as all fuck isn't open-source.

I have all the weights for Microsoft Word so I can run it on my own machine provided that I interface with this opaque blob of binary in a way it expects. Long live open source!

It's like, the service distribution model has been successfully normalized to a point where we celebrate generously being offered an executable and not a very affordable endpoint. It's so far from open-source that they advertise having used petabytes of sources and not only are the sources themselves not open (available to the public to read as in open-source research), they're not even listed anywhere.

Regardless of the technology that powers it, the quality of its products, or even the truth about its processes and suppliers, DeepSeek disproved the hypothesis that "every tech company that sells AI buys directly from Nvidia".
That is a careful statement - DeepSeek might even be using smuggled Nvidia GPUs. But two things are certain: 1) they are not out there kissing Nvidia's ring (at least not in public). And 2), besides that, they still have paying clients.
That means that Nvidia is not the only way to AI salvation (according to market analysts, apparently).
Thus, market analysts correct Nvidia's price to reflect the end of its "omnipresence".

@Demolishun MSM does what there sponsors want and I bet china is giving them a lot of money

Also in the comments there are THOUSANDS of bots all praising china and bashing the US. Happens every time, whether it's a "revolutionary" new chinese smart phone or a "revolutionary" new chinese plane

@Demolishun Hey, at least that's all natural ignorance
