“DeepSeek’s success is even more remarkable given the constraints facing Chinese AI companies in the form of increasing US export controls on cutting-edge chips. But early evidence shows that these measures are not working as intended. Rather than weakening China’s AI capabilities, the sanctions appear to be driving startups like DeepSeek to innovate in ways that prioritize efficiency, resource-pooling, and collaboration.” #GenerativeAI #ai

“The world wide web we joined to be connected with other people is increasingly operated by algorithm driven bots who impersonate humans. This is what AI driven large language models have wrought. If you knew there was an algorithm and not a human on the other side of your internet use, would you continue?”

The US has the highest cost of prescription drugs in the world. A health insurance CEO was just murdered and the country is in an exceedingly foul mood about healthcare.

Way to read the room.

While BRICS nations are generating more total GDP than the G7, their per-capita GDP is still trailing. Which basically means that the US and her economic partners are the consumerist dumping ground for the world’s mass produced goods.

US global power is diminishing. The American Empire is in decline. The power balance in the world is trending toward #China and #BRICS and away from the #G7.

BRICS: Brazil, China, India, Russia, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the UAE.

G7: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the US.

The world order is shifting. China’s global influence continues to grow in the global #economy. The #BRICS already supercedes the #G7 in GDP for 2024. The world’s two largest gold deposits are among BRICS nations (China & South Africa)

“Beneath the Wangu gold field in Pingjiang County lies a staggering deposit of gold ore, estimated at up to 1,100 tons. If confirmed, this would make it the largest known deposit of any precious metal globally.”

The algorithms that pollute our music and video streaming are annoying at best, but are the least concerning.

“But algorithms aren’t just being used to feed you content. They’re also employed to fix real-estate prices, make probation and asylum decisions, determine Uber prices during a hurricane, dictate whether elderly people receive potentially lifesaving medical care, assess the risk posed by an abusive partner, and decide who gets targeted in a war zone.”

On Aug 2, 2014 Elon tweeted:

"We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes,"

He now has a burr in his bottom because he wants to own OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. But that was likely the point all along. #ai #artificialintelligence #elonmusk #openai
