Massively smart play for US to try and assassinate Liang, because just imagine who China kills in return? Sam Altman? Zuckerberg? The bitcoin guy? Vivek (lmao)?

Losing those would boost rather than damage US tech industry.

Imagine an army led by generals that are so bad that fragging them actually improves their combat capability: this army doesn't need to fear decapitation strikes, ever.
MSS will put security detail on them so they can safely leech off the American public

"US lawmakers raise concerns about Chinese national ballet performance in Washington
[...]Politicians say National Ballet of China performance at Kennedy Centre is part of the Communist Party’s political machinery’
Representatives Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey, and John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House select committee on China, sent a letter this week to Kennedy Centre chairman David Rubenstein and president Deborah Rutter regarding the NBC performances, which are scheduled from January 29 to February 2 in Washington as part of Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.[...]"

"In the House of Representatives, John Moolenaar (R-Michigan), who also serves as the chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and Tom Suozzi (D-New York) introduced the Restoring Trade Fairness Act; Senators Jim Banks (R-Indiana), Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), and Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) introduced a companion bill to the Senate.

The bill would “suspend normal trade relations with the People’s Republic of China and… increase the rates of duty applicable with respect to articles imported from the People’s Republic of China.” " jan 24, 2025 (i thought ghey thteatened abt this alrsady years ago?)

Don't worry, it's a "Must see", telling the story of "China after communism". I take it you've seen the prequel? Well this is even better!

Currently the Western MSM are full of accusations of how DeepSeek understated its cost, so let's take a look of the following article, which may well be one of the main sources of such allegations.
DeepSeek Debates: Chinese Leadership On Cost, True Training Cost, Closed Model Margin Impacts

The key evidences are hiding behind a paywall. So it's just "believe me, bro". The article claims that High-Flyer, the hedge fund behind DeepSeek, spent $2.6 billion (their previous claim was $1.6 billion, at this rate it will be $10 billion tomorrow) on the project. Notice High-Flyer has a total of $8 billion in its hedge fund.

Here is Glenn's take:
There is absolutely no way an $8 billion fund (with flat/negative returns over the period) could have "self-funded" another $1.6 billion in CapEx.

You know what it could have reasonably funded? 2,048 H800 datacenter worth ~$70M ...

... and even here that is quite an extreme CapEx ratio for a fund generating a total of ~$70M (maybe) of management fees that need to pay for fund operations themselves.

So the only possible way that High Flyer could have funded the purchase of another even just 10,000 H800s would have been to have raised secret outside funding for DeepSeek, which of course contradicts the article itself.

Of course, there are now rumors of that swirling around — maybe as people figure out the above math — but then we should just be up front that these estimates are based on pure unsubstantiated speculation and just leave it at that.
LMAO: from Glenn's tweet above:
SemiAnalysis’ estimate for DeepSeek CapEx/Opex just increased by $600M.

This is either worthy of a “BREAKING NEWS” tagline or speaks to the unreliability of the model and underlying assumptions.

And why would that be a bad thing? You wouldn’t have to be a cuck anymore at the very least.
