china is reaching levels of basedness long thought impossible
AI garbage
AI garbage, China
this but unironically
是
Why is it based when China does it? It's still bazinga until I hear otherwise, glad they're owning the Yanks tho
It may eventually be useful and because they're destroying OpenAI and all the other bullshit it's worth it anyway
The US Govt. is pumping billions into this shit industry. It will be so funny when it bursts
It's not going away. Probably every. So might as well be happier when China does better with it
mashallah xi ai can continue to lead china prosperously long after xi is gone
The headline is misleading. DeepSeek outperforms some benchmarks by <1%, and underperforms on some by 1-5%.
Not that there's a need to lie - China is still winning. Deepseek is definitely cheaper, enormously, massively so, and on-par with other latest AI models. I'm not sure it's totally positive news, because cheaper AI tends to mean more overall spending on AI, but China winning in this space is a definite lesser evil.
P=0.05?
cheaply and less powerful
So AI could be more sustainable this whole time? Interesting…
Who wants to bet their AI will be used for more useful things too?

It's not that unsustainable unless you believe the predicts that your microwave will be building it's own LLM model every month by 2030
The electricity and water usage isn't very high in general or compared to data centre usage more broadly (and is basically nothing compared to crypto)
source: ML guy i know so this could be entirely unsubstantiated but apparently the main environmental burden of LLM infrastructure comes from training new models not serving inference from already deployed models.
That might change now that companies are creating “reasoning” models like DeepSeek R1. They aren’t really all that different architecturally but they produce longer outputs which just requires more compute.
AI, as in machine learning, has always had uses. Like, real useful additions to human capability. It’s very useful in pattern recognition and statistical analysis of various things.
Our more modern shit connotation comes from capitalists trying replace labor with generative AI, which is a small subset of potential machine learning uses, but by its nature sends massive amounts of shlock at us.
ML has made our xsh translations coherent.

Man, at this rate, China is going to somehow create a cryptocurrency or NFT that actually works and isn't a scam.
