The Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has put Silicon Valley’s AI titans into “panic mode”, says Parmy Olson in Bloomberg. They’ve been persuading investors that only vast quantities of money could keep the competition at bay. DeepSeek’s latest model uses relatively unsophisticated chips and cost just $6m to train. (The latest ChatGPT model was more like $100m.) To the average user, the Chinese upstart is as good as the most expensively trained American AIs.

@kibcol1049 And they had a more expensive system to train theirs with, rather than scouting the entire interney

It's every bit as good as far as I, a casual user for science-adjacent stuff, can tell. Hell, it's made less mistakes that I've been able to catch.

I'm glad DeepDSeek is scaring the crap out of the techbros. May they lose billions in the 'AI' boondoggle. That said, what DeepSeek does is no better. They just do it cheaper.

And it is in fact a tool of the Chinese dictatorship, refusing to talk about things like Taiwan or Tiananmen Square. As much propaganda as FB or Xitter.

@riggbeck @kibcol1049 the most disruptive thing about it is that they published it, the full model, for anyone with the hardware (not cheap, but accessible), to run locally, and that version does discuss these issues openly (if prudently).

Don't worry about the billionaires. Any losses they might face will definitely trickle down🙂

@kibcol1049 when you are being called for your scam, things are getting pretty heated very, very fast.

That's what happens.

Also shareholders.....LOL.

Shame about those pension funds though.
