Yesterday's new AI Action Plan has a lot worth discussing! One interesting aspect is its statement that the federal government should withhold AI-related funding from states with "burdensome AI regulations." This could be cause for concern.

US leadership in AI has been a goal of the past Trump & Biden administrations. But that concept of leadership focused too much on “AGI” and too little on AI diffusion. The DeepSeek release - a model that was immediately widely adopted - is a reminder to adjust these priorities. Here’s why:

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
