Let me break down why DeepSeek's AI innovations are blowing people's minds (and possibly threatening Nvidia's $2T market cap) in simple terms...
Unrolled for those who don't want to go to twitter: Finally had a chance to dig into DeepSeek’s r1…
A very similar explainer that takes a higher level view that does not go into the main points of DeepSeek's implementation of AGI (artifical generative intelligence ... as I said earlier, I'm horrible with acronyms).
Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

Then this one that finally spells out and gives flesh to this rudimentary idea I'd been circling around in my head without being able to put the words to it with this part:
The tech sector is lost. They are developing technologies and "products" for valuation, not consumers.
IOW, they are pre-ensh*ttifying their products (really? BZ censor software? You gonna flag ensh*ttification now?).
Anyway, I mean the Bsky thread by niedermeyer, not Wiesenthal's newsletter that's been embedded in the first post, though by all means, check that out too if you wish. I haven't personally read it so I can't vouch for it.
The real issue here is embedded in the "AGI" stuff, that continues to hang over the space.
Having watched this in the AV space, here's the deal: if you can't define the value of your technological product in quantifiable terms, you can't charge a premium for it and it becomes a race to the bottom.
