Im glad DeepSeek open sourced their model. Even if the goal was to destabilize US companies, I think it's a blessing the tools can go to anyone with a "powerful enough" computer.
And to be really honest, I don't like what the tech companies have done with AI in such a short amount of time. I'm glad they are getting the piss beaten out of them. All these AI companies will do whatever it takes to destroy human labor pools so they can absorb a fraction of our wages.
The sad part is, they are after a fraction of a wage that is already undervalued. We are all struggling because of corporate greed anyway.
I say this not to be reactionary or pro trump.
Is there no way to use lesser nodes for wider applications? While there are processes that need as much speed as possible, I feel like what gives Taiwan semiconducting industries such great business is the fact that code optimization isn't as cost effective as the latest and greatest chips.
I HOPE these tariffs inspire better, more secure code to make less efficient chips more viable. Like a lemon to lemonade situation.
