The U.S. is spreading the narrative of a false genocide in South Africa while actively funding and supporting Israel as it carries out a real genocide in Gaza—one that international human rights organizations have repeatedly condemned.

What was interesting about algorithms? The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc). What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite. "Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god." No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

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/
