So, it is good for OpenAI as a business to be able to show increasing use of the ChatGPT interfaces, including the free ones. DeepSeek's alleged queries would make a plot of users over time go up and to the right.

OpenAI doesn't do this as a charitable gesture. They do this to build their business. The core proposition of OpenAI as a business is that they have a product which is too capital-intensive for anyone else to run, but which is too useful for anyone else to ignore. Getting people to use the product for free - and particularly, getting people to talk about how good their product is, for free - reinforces that narrative.

OpenAI gives the general public free, minimally-metered access to ChatGPT. There are rate limits, and you can pay to raise those limits, but when you provide a prompt interface that can be used by any anonymous internet user, you necessarily have to allow anyone who has access to a bunch of IP addresses to use your product for free.

What OpenAI is specifically accusing the DeepSeek team of doing, down at a nuts and bolts level, is sending prompts to their ChatGPT products, writing down the responses, and doing statistics on them to produce a model that, under training, becomes likely to give the same answers ChatGPT would.

Lotta folks are quite rightly dragging OpenAI for their apparent stance on intellectual property, vis a vis competitors using their site. That's valid, but I think there's a much funnier analysis hiding under it.
OpenAI is telling the world that they missed a revenue opportunity. A big one.

The thing is, business-database products did cease to exist, but idiosyncratic databases designed to support individual businesses and business processes, designed in large part by businesspeople and not programmers, didn't.
It all got folded into "spreadsheets."

Anyways nvidia is still worth three trillion, with a T, dollars, notional money, and the shareholder-lead push to replace expensive humans with planet-destroying machinery will continue unabated. A competitor coming up with a cheaper product isn't going to produce the kind of sea change that yesterday's press cycle would have you believe.

This is a press pattern that is not unique to share prices, though share prices, being numbers, are a good source of news drama. News agencies make up the impact, even when reporting on the facts, all the time. Zoom out. Stand ten feet further away and look at the whole picture.

If, like me and like a lot of people who have better things to do than gamble on the daily markets, the bulk of your investment money is in long-term investments (mine live in an RRSP), these kinds of blips Are meaningless, or so close as to be functionally uneventful.

A fun thing to do when the press goes loud on some share price movement is to take the share price chart and zoom it out to the six month or one year horizon.
Nearly universally, the day's Big News, like a 15% day-over-day share price drop, turns into line noise, lost in the overall trend those same securities' prices. That doesn't make those daily variations meaningless, but it does mean that they have very little impact on people who aren't trading on day-over-day volatility.

Of course, you're stuck to the floor afterwards, as your only subsequent movement options are going to be Paradox, High Thunder, Foul, or (ick) Scathe, until Swiftcast comes off of cooldown again, or until your next Xenoglossy tick.

2/2
Foul, weave Swiftcast.
Flare Star.
That's 13 GCDs. 14 if you had Power Amplifier off cooldown in time to use it. At a 2.38s spell speed, that works out to either 31 or 33 seconds of instant-cast spells and "free" movement, and it even slightly increases DPS over the normal rotation by accelerating Fire 4.

Normal, castbar-having Fire 3. Weave Triplecast in the gap, then start running.
The rest is instants:
Three Fire 4 casts, plus either Thunder or Xenoglossy.
Paradox, weave Triplecast again since Paradox is instant anyways and you got time.
Three more F4 casts, plus whichever of Thunder or Xenoglossy you didn't already use.
Fire 3 (instant, thanks to the free Firestarter from Paradox).
Xenoglossy.
Optionally, Power Amplifier plus another Xenoglossy. 1/2

Black Mage has a well-deserved reputation for being the least mobile caster in FFXIV, but with a bit of forward planning (and if you don't mind being completely out of movement options afterwards) you can extend the class' free movement time to well over 30 seconds - an entire fire phase plus High Thunder and two Xenoglossy charges - during which time you never have to stop moving if you don't want to? Which is insane?

Well, "released," it's pretty clearly a very early-stage early access product right now, a lot of the stuff I found fun in the first game is still in the roadmap and not the game.
But still. There's a playable thing.
