There’s the whole TikTok thing, talk about EV cars, and now DeepSeek. I know I’ve heard my own stuff too, but I want to see what other people are hearing and seeing?

You quote the prices of the AIs as if the difference in price means something. And the general tone of your post makes it feel like you are saying that being able to do it cheaper is clearly better.
My point is that it’s only cheaper in the short and narrow view. It is cheaper for a select few, but the cost is massively higher for everyone else.
The price difference means everything because it’s a money laundering public theft operation for the American oligarchs. Not only is deep seek doing it cheaper (with your stupid boogeyman at what cost! China bad! pearl clutching) but it uses a tiny fraction of the energy and water the fraudulent American options do.
Why is America investing $500 BILLION IN TAXPAYER MONEY into this waste when China can do it for $6 million? At what cost? Dude, AT WHAT COST TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC?! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Oh are you worried about data??? Oh boy I got a bridge to see you in Brooklyn if you think the American oligarchs give a flying fuck about your data. Meanwhile Sam Altman of open ai wants iris scans (!!!) and one of the ideological inspirations for the technofascists - Curtis Yarvin - is calling for the genocide of the poor except let’s just give them augmented reality in prison because it’s more humane and they’ll use iris scans to control everyone:

The Chinese pale in comparison to what the American technofascists are planning.
