    Much respect to the anchoring skills of Sam Altman tho. “I need 7 trillion dollars and then I will kill God” and then they gave him half a trillion.

  • This is how the US AI-dev sector decides to proceed at flank speed without safeguards towards friendly AI, leading to a robot apocalypse, sparing us from climate-crisis-induced famine!

        Increasingly I feel like our only hope for the future is somehow achieving ASI and that it somehow is benevolent in spite of our numerous failings as a species and KT basically starts manipulating us or directly controlling us away from self destruction.

        There are so many doomsday scenarios on the horizon that if it ends up being evil we may at least be able to take it down with us.

      I love how it being inefficient seemed to be its biggest selling point too lol.

      Wait, it’s not going to use up all of the world’s resources? Nevermind, I don’t want that.

    Aren’t the algorithm in use pretty much scientifically published?

    When I heard there is a chinese one I was mostly surprised that other people were surprised.

      IMO with the Chinese attitude towards education, community, and government investment in contrast to the US attitude, it’s only a matter of time before they take the lead in many tech categories.

        The USA is already behind… and education is a thing that takes decades to pump or destroy. Even if the USA turns ship now (and they are not) the damage has been done for at least 2 generations of students.

        The damage has been mitigated by importing so many smart people from elsewhere… but even that is getting destroyed so there is no saving it anymore

        Thanks to U.S. stupidity, greed and a certain felon, China will assume the position of the number one world leader very, very soon.

    When I mentioned that all this went down for a mere fraction of what everyone else paid, her immediate reaction was: “Well, isn’t that what China does with just about everything?”

    This is the third time I’ve seen this exact image used in relation to this. First was a YouTube video, second was a mastodon post, and now this. Not sure who started it, but I feel it’s kinda racist and just shitty. I get the reference, but it’s nothing more than “haha, asian guy that was on computer stuff show”.

      Why do you people get offended on our behalf for even the most minuscule thing. What’s racist about it? On the contrary, it’s fucking awesome that some Chinese manage to do this with a meager sum in such time. Why would I want people to use a non Asian person to represent an Asian guy?

        What’s racist about it?

        It’s because people the meme states that DeepSeek didn’t accomplish anything novel. That the real innovation was done in America with ChatGPT. And there is a narrative that the Chinese are not original, but only really good at copying other people’s work often using inferior parts. That last part, while not explicit in the meme, is in the culture.

        My understanding is that what DeepSeek did was novel for the training data it used l. However, there are some experts who question the ability to train the model using the limited budget they claimed and their understanding of the field would require far more processing power. I think there’s a non-racist and racist way of interpreting and answering this question.

        Edit: it’s also important that this is a shit post.

        You can decide if this post is racist or not. https://lemmy.ml/post/25316007

      His character tried to make cheap Chinese knockoffs of all major platforms and products.

      Deep dive is a cheap Chinese knockoff of ChatGPT.

        It’s not really a cheap knockoff though, it’s a revolution in efficiency. It proved that you don’t need $100m to beat the best models if you show a bit of ingenuity

        It’s like building a boat to cross a lake when everyone around you is trying to use their car by adding tires to increase buoyancy (nvidia are the ones selling tires)

    Neo-Liberalism: Let’s hire anyone from anywhere, just the best candidates no matter what, no other values but who we can extract the most value from. Let’s also take money from the government and lobby them to defund themselves and the country’s services to give us even more money.

    Oh wow! How does China steal our tech?! Why wasn’t the government funding education and security to protect us?!?
