Baffling to see the disclosure around DeepSeek
Last I checked the tech industry, we celebrate small teams pushing the industry forward, coming up w novel ways to build software more efficiently. And sharing it.
Yet now there's a class of folks who think this is some bad thing?

So when someone does it.. we get confused.
i hope all the venal money-grubbing pieces of shit quit and go back to finance
It's an unsurprising response to humiliation
It’s the point of open weight and free-to-use models!

Unless it’s a defense technology then its on the “Clausewitz Spectrum” (Politics<->War)
Millions downloaded the mobile app with embedded CCP censorship already which is much more dangerous, and you are laughing the danger off
Small teams doing novel things, and pushing the industry forward is how tech has always gone
This is *their* industry. It is no longer about scrappy small teams innovating. It’s about how much money they can make themselves and their shareholders.
But hey, there is still hope!
not by any measure
they are a blight on the industry
The negative posts are coming from either VCs, nontechnical folks or people very heavily invested in current, highly-valued AI startups which are hurt by such innovation
For them, efficiency gains can be bad news for their current financials
Megacorp AI isn't going to stop using their hardware just because someone did it cheaper?
Better HW = faster research feedback loops. More loops = more innovation, fundamentally. So why?
Some celebrate D.S. for promoting AI, some for destroying it, some lament it for promoting AI... And very few indeed pretend that it's destroying it 🤷♀️
Chinese innovation: bad, also scary
