Apple, on the other hand, is actually up. Likely because of all the major tech companies they have been the most skeptical of AI and took pains to silo their AI offerings from the rest of their iOS. They hedged their bets and so don’t have anywhere near as much to lose from the deflation of AI hype

It’s good in that AI sucks, but I’m also very worried this is gonna trigger another global recession or even depression, which will fuck everyone

Also: because deepseek's r1 model is open source it is also open with how its chain of thought reasoning works, something that OpenAI has been avoiding so people can't copy their process and thus their model. Sadly that didn't need to happen! Uh oh!

One important note: this is not about deepseek making a "better" model. They have created a much much cheaper to run model that performs about as well as OpenAI's o1 model. OpenAI may have to drop pricing to compete on a more expensive to run model. Race to the bottom baby!

A recap of today's crisis:

- Colombia: Deportations are fine, but don't use military planes.
- Trump: F*** YOU. 50% tariffs, visa bans, and sanctions.
- Colombia: If you're going to be that way, screw you too, 50% tariffs back at you, we're breaking up, and we'll see other people *coughChinacough*.
