Isobel Hadley-Kamptz: Nytt bolag gör smartare AI – it-jättarna gråter över att det är orättvist

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

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?
