I just realised Deepseek’s domination over OpenAI means the American technological war is lost and the embargo of chips against China is rendered moot, since the embargo was meant to assure Anglo American dominance in AI.
Deepseek just rendered that entire model moot and useless.
This will end the mega NPU cluster farm craze and destroy Nvidia stock price haha. They intentionally made it open source!

Enemy (Neocon/Neolib Regime) Propaganda Gem:

Confronting a New Axis? | UnArchived​


A potential new Axis of authoritarian powers – China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea – threatens global stability through unprecedented strategic cooperation. Unlike its World War II predecessor – Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan, and the Soviet Union -- these nations demonstrate stronger coordination through, no-limit partnerships, joint military operations, and shared infrastructure projects. To successfully challenge this emerging coalition, the United States must understand both what makes this new coalition similar to the original Axis and recognize what makes it entirely unique.

based on the work of Philip Zelikov and scripted by Bradley Combest

Philip Zelikow is the Botha-Chan Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. An attorney and former career diplomat, Zelikow's federal service includes work across the government in the five administrations from Reagan through Obama, and is a strategic consultant for the current Biden administration.



Personal Opinion:

The audacity and lack of self awareness of these neocon/neolib (i.e. neofascist) extremists is mindboggling.

Once again these neofascist thugs:

1) Conveniently ignore the criminal actions of the neocon/neolib controlled US in the form of US wars and coups of aggression, the funding of terrorists, launching of a global misinformation and propaganda campaigns to spread lies about China, Russia and anyone unwilling to bend the knee to the neocon/neolib regime establishment. Then there is the weaponization of financial systems too.

2) Lie about history in general. e.g. The soviet union was part of the axis powers according to these far-right extremist nutjobs.

3) Still talk about their vassal states like they were sovereign countries/allies. They are not!

4) Still talk about "Freedom" although what they mean is US global hegemony/dictatorship into perpetuity.

Ironically these neofascist thugs are closer to Nazi Germany in terms of their ideology of supremacism, military aggression, economic coercion, underhanded tactics, pervasive propaganda, etc. than China or Russia.

I hope saner heads will prevail in the US but with neofascists (neocons and neolibs) around, a perilous journey / turbulent waters might be ahead.

Which stage of grief is this? Bargaining or depression?

Another excuse that I see people are now doing:

"It couldn't have been 5.5 million worth of compute! It must have been a lot more than that! They are secretly buying and stockpiling H100 from somewhere!"

Maybe we should start some rumour about how it's actually achieved by having all the Chinese diaspora being bullied by the secret overseas police stations into buying 4090 (and soon 5090) and running them on their PC with some sort of distributed computing software to donate GPU cycles for Chinese AI programs and that's where all the compute are coming from.

As I said in the AI thread, I don't think people are discussing DeepSeek enough given the implications.

It basically means if it really was done by some quant fund in China as a side project for $5m, it means that all those techbros and H1B Indians are basically scamming everyone. We need a gorillion dollars and all these talents to work on AI or we lose the AI war!

No wonder they are screeching so much on Deepseek! They got exposed HARD

EU Commission completes probe into X, to decide fine, reports Handelsblatt​

BERLIN, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The European Commission has completed its initial probe into social media platform X and will soon decide to impose a fine worth millions of euros, Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Friday, citing three high-ranking officials from the bloc.
There was no immediate reply to a request for comment from the European Commission.

Trump literally complained about this the day before.

on China-made EVs at the end of October after an anti-subsidy investigation, including 17.0% for BYD, 18.8% for Geely and 35.3% for SAIC, on top of the EU's standard car import duty of 10%.
Court filings show all three lodged their complaints at the General Court, the lower of two CJEU chambers, on Tuesday, a day before the deadline for filing challenges. Proceedings at the General Court last on average 18 months and can be appealed.
No further details of the cases were given.
The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME), an industry body that has represented Chinese EV producers, also filed a complaint on Wednesday, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to the EU (CCCEU) said.
The CCCEU urged Beijing and Brussels to negotiate a compromise to avoid tariffs. The two have been in talks about possible

since September.
In a statement on Friday, the CCCME confirmed its action on behalf of "authorised companies" and pledged to "continue to represent China's EV industry through judicial litigation and resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese EV companies."
Europe is in for a world of pain, but it is just running around like a headless chicken right now.

If we look at it in perspective, why China is being so open and aggressive in its moves, we have to remember only a few months ago the USG did try to instigate a false flag attack in South Korea to start a regional war.
Unveiling the 6th gen and deepseek killing OpenAI and Want Yi’s aggressive tone makes sense in that context.
