    OR: “AI speculative bubble deflates as people realise there may not be massive profit in AI”. It’s not upending the AI industry, it’s upending the expectations that AI will be a license to print money (which has been based on nothing).

      It’s upending the AI investment industry, and that’s the only thing the billionaires actually care about

      These companies kept promising proprietary meant that they could innovate more & that you needed billions of dollars to make it work, and then got their asses handed to them by an open source model developed in two months costing over 200x less

    Lol it is open source. They can’t even fathom what that means & how something can be free & open, and how allowing anyone to contribute & use something helps innovation.

      They know exactly what it means and how that works. They’re just sorting out how to strangle it in its crib.

    Unfortunately Deepseek is not very good and highly sanitized.

    I guess investors are not very savvy. Now would be a good time to buy.

    The massive upside to Deepseek R1 being released is that these new reasoning capabilities will increase demand for inference devices. I would remain bullish!
