DeepSeek, China’s new Ai model, is disrupting the entire world of artificial intelligence…in the blink of an eye.
If you don’t know…DeepSeek is an open sourced Ai program that anyone can use.
It’s the top app in all app stores today.
It’s free and the paid models are cheaper than competitors.
It’s also very powerful, matching or beating all the American competitors on all major benchmarks.
The reason this is significant – and the reason it’s crashing the financial markets this morning…is because they did this with OUT all the powerful US ‘hyperscalers’ or GPU Superconductors that the US has banned the export of to China.
They also don’t give the ridiculous valuations to this company like we do to our OpenAi and Meta, etc.
So China, against all our efforts and sanctions, created a cheaper, more efficient and more powerful Ai model by being creative and working around all our efforts to block their progress.
And from what I hear, DeepSeek is just the beginning. Many think it cracked AGI!
The thing about the AI – as I have participated in some of the top London AI groups is that the research is very open and taking place all over the world. And it is evolving so fast that in a year, something can leapfrog this one. Also in those top communities smart people can join and get up to full speed in a year or 2 because the models change so rapidly that anything say 2 or more years old is completely obsolete.
Why it is near impossible to start companies around this because now it is moving just too fast, no internal corporate team could likely keep up. Plus they have a corporate model like many other areas of tech now where corps have farmed out all the research to universities and the universities publish advancements to worldwide public domain.
Then you have a third dynamic where no one wants to work for these big tech firms firms because they learn the BS they get up to and they are just looking to do this control grid crap.
Then maybe the fourth dynamic — the greed of the research model importing all these foreign grad students and post doc which has been going on for the last 30 years so now most of the people trained up in this tech have no loyalty or could care less about the US or the US elite projects, are not part of the mythos of the US. So yet another way these elites through their corruption have completely fucked themselves.
There is a danger of these generative AI models which is not just creating disinformation as defined by the technocrats. It is a bunch of plagiarists and scammers that now have AI automated superpowers to just disrupt most all content on the internet.
See here:
And here:
The elites have their heads so far up their ass on controlling the political narrative — the whole internet is being taken over with AI crap for clicks. It even be done on purpose to convince everyone that they need a drivers license for the internet, but I think it has already gotten away from them and can’t be reigned in for all the reasons above.
Also, Microsoft has definitely not stopped its plan to monitor everything you do. This Copilot thing is part of it. But this Deepseek thing, I think is possibly the moment of runaway. If not this specifically – there will be a newer and even better Deepseek and many more. The methods are out there. Part of these models as well is that a very small team of independents can leapfrog or break the big money guys and they don’t need big computers.
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft has decided to temporarily pause the construction of a $3.3 billion data center in Mount Pleasant. Wisconsin Public Radio reports the tech giant is still on track to complete the project’s first phase by 2026. However, it’s unclear when phase two of the project will commence because it’s under design review to establish how new technologies will affect the company’s data center design.
While speaking to The Register, a Microsoft spokesman indicated:
“We have paused early construction work for this second phase while we evaluate scope and recent changes in technology and consider how this might impact the design of our facilities. We anticipate that this process will last months.”
According to The Information, the $3.3 billion data center was supposed to be used by OpenAI to facilitate its sophisticated AI advances and foster the development of a cutting-edge supercomputer.
This story came out before China’s DeepSeek-R1 was released on 1/20/25 but Microsoft had to have seen the writing on the wall as DeepSeek had been progressing rapidly for months. It is in China’s interests that USA not succeed in having sole control of the world’s best AI. So China made DeepSeek available to all for free. That is a military move as well as an economic one. It is a KOBK move in that China has ‘killed’, at least for now, US total superiority in AI, while forcing everyone to change direction by supplying everyone with new opportunities for AI development.

AI will do a lot and we all can see that. But we the plebs and we the people must recognize that we are the only database, a living database, that can rival or moderate or check or control AI, especially if it’s in the hands of bad people. Let’s start now and be ever more outrageous in what we say in order to push the limits of what is permitted to include everything short of actual criminal. Hate and hate speech cannot be criminalized, disrespect is not criminal, commenting even savagely on any topic must not be criminalized. Covid proved that free-speech is the only way. The only people who were reasonable and right during covid were those who spoke against the mainstream. Even doctors got it wrong. Out of one million American doctors, only about 500 spoke up against covid mandates and shots. That is a recent memory for all of us. Keep it in mind as a paradigm of how the world should work. Nobody gets to shut down speech, not even the AMA, FDA, CDC, NSA, DOD, the president of USA or the ADL. If we lose free speech, AI and its control minions will own us completely. I suspect Altman and Ellison are preprogramming us with these short vids about how we have to adapt to AI, never how AI has to adapt to us. ABN
It started with deepseek v3, which rendered the Llama 4 already behind in benchmarks. Adding insult to injury was the “unknown Chinese company with 5..5 million training budget”
Engineers are moving frantically to dissect deepsek and copy anything and everything we can from it. I’m not even exaggerating
Management is worried about justifying the massive cost of gen ai org. How would they face the leadership when every single “leader” of gen ai org is making more than what it cost to trained deepseek v3 entirely, and we have dozens of such “leaders”
Deepseek r1 made things even scarier. I can’t reveal confidential info but it’ll be soon public anyways
It should have been an engineering focused small org but since a bunch of people wanted to join the impact grab and artificially inflate hiring in the org, everyone loses
In another open-source win, DeepSeek aims to redefine ‘open AI’ with R1, its latest model. Open-source artificial intelligence (AI) has reached another milestone — and the cost differences it represents could shake up the industry.
On Monday, Chinese AI lab DeepSeek announced the release of R1, the full version of its newest open-source reasoning model, which the company launched in preview in November. The company noted that R1 beats or is on par with OpenAI’s o1 in several math, coding, and reasoning benchmarks.
Similar to o1, R1’s reasoning takes more time to answer than other models, but its queries are meant to be more sophisticated and accurate. Alongside the 671-billion-parameter model, DeepSeek also released six smaller “distilled” versions with as few as 1.5 billion parameters, which can be run on a local device.
According to leaked media reports [CBS HERE] President Trump is going to unveil a private sector launch of $500 billion to create data processing centers for a national Artificial Intelligence (AI) network. The network will be known as “Stargate.”
SoftBank Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son, OpenAI head Sam Altman and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison are expected to be at the White House for the announcement.
The initial launch will consist of $100 billion for the first Stargate (AI processing center) in Texas. Other projects in other states will come online in the future.
The inevitable arriving more or less as predicted. Only DARPA can stop or slow technology and it can only do that by hiding it and owning all the researchers. AI is out in the open. KOBK absolutely 100% demands USA continue developing it. Not saying I like it. Just saying this is how power is wielded in this world. Altman and Ellison are both Jewish. Son is Japanese. The only defense we the plebs have is free speech and as many of us as possible being on more or less the same page. I do not believe that is near enough but it is all we have. ABN
Some powerful group doesn’t want the people to speak the truth. Some powerful group was able to get lotta Congress on board with the ban. The only people who want censorship are liars and thieves who fear exposure.
With AI—that robotic plagiarist mechanical pseudologia fantastica—coming on hard and fast, we all have to get real used to the truth about our realities and be able to discuss any topicopenly without interference from government, which should be protecting the inalienable rights of US citizens.
If for no other reason, we humans must have full freedom of discussion to protect ourselves from AI mesmerism or control. And there are many more reasons than that. But that is a big one. The only database and voice that can compete with AI is we humans. Censorship will destroy us. Wide-open, deep, unbridled and profound freedom of speech with zero fear of consequences is an absolute must as the world moves ineluctably into massive technological advances. AI is just the beginning. ABN
There are multiple views on who the Aryans were and where they came from. I am posting this video because it is interesting and much of it is probably true, or true enough. I prefer learning about Central Asia and ancient history much more than who the Aryans were or what the term really means. I am very open to other ideas on this general topic, especially the history of Central Asia, and welcome suggestions of relevant resources. My guess is the above video need not be titled The First Aryans, which is probably a mild kind of clickbait. The invention of the war chariot around 2000 BCE, though, was a really big deal and it probably did arise in that area. Chariots were hard to make and required a large array of supporting skilled workers, including horse breeders and trainers, carpenters, and warriors capable of using chariots to good effect. This is why the war chariot remained a dominant weapon for about 1000 years and why Central Asian peoples had massive influence on all of the settled cultures bordering Central Asia. It was not a simple thing for other societies to copy the war chariot and learn to use it. ABN
The CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA) has partnered with the CIA-linked Palantir to cement the public-private model of invasive surveillance in “public health,” all while pushing the U.S. national security state and Silicon Valley even closer together.
The Pentagon and Silicon Valley are in the midst of cultivating an even closer relationship as the Department of Defense (DoD) and Big Tech companies seek to jointly transform the American healthcare system into one that is “artificial intelligence (AI)-driven.” The alleged advantages of such a system, espoused by the Army itself, Big Tech and Pharma executives as well as intelligence officers, would be unleashed by the rapidly developing power of so-called “predictive medicine,” or “a branch of medicine that aims to identify patients at risk of developing a disease, thereby enabling either prevention or early treatment of that disease.”
This will apparently be achieved via mass interagency data sharing between the DoD, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the private sector. In other words, the military and intelligence communities, as well as the public and private sector elements of the US healthcare system, are working closely with Big Tech to “predict” diseases and treat them before they occur (and even before symptoms are felt) for the purported purpose of improving civilian and military healthcare.
This cross-sector team plans to deliver this transformation of the healthcare system by first utilizing and sharing the DoD’s healthcare dataset, which is the most “comprehensive…in the world.” It seems, however, based on the programs that already utilize this predictive approach and the necessity for “machine learning” in the development of AI technology, that this partnership would also massively expand the breadth of this healthcare dataset through an array of technologies, methods and sources.
Yet, if the actors and institutions involved in lobbying for and implementing this system indicate anything, it appears that another—if not primary—purpose of this push towards a predictive AI-healthcare infrastructure is the resurrection of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-managed and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-supported program that Congress officially “shelved” decades ago. That program, Total Information Awareness (TIA), was a post 9/11 “pre-crime” operation which sought to use mass surveillance to stop terrorists before they committed any crimes through collaborative data mining efforts between the public and private sector.
