respectfully - the Dow is down 1.2% on the day, the S&P is down 0.8% - these are relatively small changes. everything's so overvalued that a 500-point drop really isn't that much anymore.

This is still one of the most insane stories. It's like if in the 90s we'd somehow tied like 2/3s of the economy to Furbys and the Chinese were like yeah but what about a better, cheaper toy.

... actually in hindsight this feels incredibly inevitable.

How exactly does Deepseek do that ?

It gives comparable results, for free, that silicon valley currently charges $200 a month for. It does it without requiring a personal nuclear reactor and a great lake's water supply. It shows the fraud of tech bros and their fiance buddies.

Do you have a citation on the claim that it’s significantly less energy intensive?

You can run it on a laptop.
