Knew a business school professor who was convinced that the real “glass ceiling” for women was the fact that men didn’t trust them to go along with bad behavior. They grow up in male bonded groups, where they can do whatever they want. And women not being able to do the same is half the fun.

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/
