DeepSeek shows the US failure to contain Chinese tech Despite chip restrictions, Chinese AI threatens the foundation of the generative AI hype cycle

DeepSeek’s R1 model is challenging the very foundations of the past two years of generative AI hype, wiping $1 trillion of the value of major US tech companies.

But it’s also another example that the US strategy to try to contain Chinese tech is failing β€” and pushing them to get even more creative.

Deepseek r1 release. 8 days ago.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.

Beautiful.

I've reached a critical point in my umpteenth attempt at playing through Assassin's Creed Odysseyβ€”where the map starts to feel increasingly huge with all those map markers. This is usually where I quit. This time I've vowed to keep playing

Keys Unlocks Her Toolshed Madison Keys' racquet switch, from Wilson to Yonex, has opened new abilities and possibilities late in her career.

To celebrate Madison Keys’ stunning run to the #AusOpenΒ  titleβ€”and a big Bounces Bounceℒ️—I’ve taken the paywall off this article from days ago about how Keys retooled herself into a Slam champion with a racquet switch in the off-season.

Enjoy!

Ngl, the first two episodes are a wild ride. I haven't been this keen on watching the rest of an anime series since Death Note

Thought they could turn the game into their cash cow and players would just stick around for it, despite all the issues. Had some amazing times playing this with my brother but those days are gone. Think I'll ask him to try #MarvelRivals with me

Ragnarok feels oddly familiar but at the same time like something I won't end up finishing. Wondering if I shouldn't finish Control first then come back to itπŸ€”

I've been playing some God of War: Ragnarok since they added it to PS Plus Extra. But man, something just isn't right. The first game had my attention immediately, the combat was interesting with the hammer and when you eventually get into upgrading gear and get the full arsenal...what a game!

I'm no Djokovic fan but the Aussie crowd booing him for leaving injured is pretty lame.

Booing a world-class tennis legend because of an injury is just the absolute worst kind of behavior from a sports "fan". Absolutely unacceptable #AusOpen

Can someone explain the purpose of the Netflix Jerry Springer documentary to me please? Like all I learned in two episodes was that the show was controversial, which I kinda already knew.

Ragnarok has been on my wishlist since the day I bought my PS5. Gonna be booting it up for sure. It's been a while since I've been excited about any of the Extra games. Feels nice
