DeepSeek did still require training data generated by the more expensive models. If DeepSeek 2 can achieve cutting-edge performance on data generated by the first DeepSeek though... 😬

NEW: I know we want to see big tech punished for monopolistic misdeeds, but holding back Google’s AI plans is worse for competition in the long run. My piece today for @opinion.bsky.social :

There will probably be some grumbling if the PS5 portable comes out close to the PS6 launch, but staying roughly a generation behind the home console is probably the only way to pull this off without a) the portable being ridiculously expensive or b) hamstringing the home console.

This could be a positive development for competition in search, but imo search itself won't really improve until someone figures out how to deal with all the SEO spam that is only going to get worse with AI. 😬
The DOJ's plan to force Google to share search queries and results with rivals might be one of the best things that could happen to the web. Suddenly, we might have viable search engines that are more interested in preserving the web than replacing it: www.platformer.news/google-antit...

The DOJ pushing Google to sell Chrome is a mistake imo. Browsers don't make money on their own, so I struggle to see how post-Google Chrome survives unless it is acquired by another large platform or starts selling user data, neither of which seem like a boon for consumer welfare.
