I'd appreciate if any of my readers mark me as "Not Spam", otherwise I will have to leave Bluesky, thank you.

Interesting @jay.bsky.team how your company treats Creators. Spending 100s of hours to be marked as spam. Maybe indeed all this time here has been a wasted effort. Perhaps I should go back to LinkedIn and Substack only then.

Apparently all of my efforts on Bluesky, "bother users". I think I'll go back to writing my Newsletters. If this is how Bluesky treats Creators.

Bluesky seems to think I'm a spam bot. If that's true, maybe I should just stick with Substack Notes.

India lauds Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, plans to host its models on local servers. The approval to allow DeepSeek to be hosted in India appears contingent on the platform storing and processing all Indian users’ data domestically, in line with India’s strict data localization requirements.

Zuckerberg dismissed the notion that Meta’s overall AI spending will drop now that DeepSeek has allegedly proven cutting-edge AI requires less money and computing than previously thought.

Hilarious how American startups look entirely unwilling to compete with China on a level playing Field. That's not a good endorsement of their relative confidence in their own innovation or AI talent. When did Americans become so weak? darioamodei.com/on-deepseek-...

News publications asking their members to have Substacks as side gigs to supplement their income? Every week journalists are now quitting their jobs to join substack full time. American Media is going independent.

SoftBank is in talks to invest up to $25 billion in OpenAI as part of a broader partnership that could see the Japanese conglomerate spend more than $40 billion on AI initiatives with the Microsoft-backed startup, according to the Financial Times.

Reelo stands out among the apps building a ‘TikTok for Bluesky’. Remember the name if you are into that. Essentially the AT Protocol is going to get more specialized apps.

I feature a lot of writers on my Newsletter lately. One thing that has shocked me a bit is that when a female writer is hosted, they get 40% less clicks to their Newsletter and articles. They aren't inferior in quality as journalists, investigators, or less knowledgably. Huge gender bias exists.

The Tesla brand is in serious danger. Operating income declined 23% year over year to $1.6 billion. Net income dropped 71% from a year earlier to $2.32 billion. Given the demand for hybrids I don't think anything can turn this around.

Meta's investment appears to be paying off in AI. When you have a monopoly on all of social media, that tends to happen. Sales in the fourth quarter jumped 21% year over year while net income grew 49% to $20.8 billion, up from $14 billion a year earlier. Advertising in an AI slop universe.

Let's not kid ourselves, generative AI is a male sport. ChatGPT’s mobile users are 85% male, report says.

It's likely to be another down day for NVIDIA and company in the public markets. $NVDA This isn't the bubble popping but it's a very funny moment.

Eric Schmidt says DeepSeek marks a ‘turning point’ for the global AI race. Just another venture capitalist that says the US must win, i.e his own investments and startups. Now funding ChinaTalk on substack. You know because he's a philanthropist.

If Substack isn't the place for DeepSeek and AI news, I don't know what is. Sure you can get more original insights on Subreddits, more viral memes on X. But the amount of coverage on SS is insane on this story. Substack even plans write a curated article on the topic to be sent to its millions

Huge amount of groupthink and herd mentality when it comes to debates around DeepSeek on social media and in the U.S. in particular. This isn't freedom of information. Heck, this is not even independent thinking.

Another OpenAI safety researcher has left the company. In a post on X, Steven Adler called the global race toward AGI a ‘very risky gamble.’

Big AWS customers, including Stripe and Toyota, are hounding the cloud giant for access to DeepSeek AI models.

Meta is reportedly scrambling ‘war rooms’ of engineers to figure out how DeepSeek’s AI is beating everyone else at a fraction of the price.

A dark Day for American imperialism. Google said it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” and change Denali to “Mount McKinley.”

DeepSeek beat chatgpt on the reasoning test I use. Every AI I've tested has answered '4' to the question: What is the smallest integer whose square is between 15 and 30? DeepSeek with DeepThink correctly answered '-5', with impeccable reasoning.

Those Intel guys move fast. Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is already using DeepSeek instead of OpenAI at his startup, Gloo.

On Monday, DeepSeek took over rival OpenAI's coveted spot for most-downloaded free app in the U.S. on Apple's App Store, dethroning ChatGPT for DeepSeek's own AI Assistant.

Power companies that are most exposed to the tech sector's data center boom plunged Monday. Constellation Energy, Vistra Corp., Talen Energy and GE Vernova tumbled as China's DeepSeek AI lab debuted, scaring investors with a lower-cost business model.

Apple turns its AI on by default in latest software update. Many users however turn it off because it's so bad.

Nvidia lost nearly $600 billion in one day. Down 16% if including after hours.

Janus-Pro, which DeepSeek describes as a “novel autoregressive framework,” can both analyze and create new images. They range in size from 1 billion to 7 billion parameters.

Nothing reminds you of how dumb Venture capitalists are like them going on Lex Friedman's podcast. It's fairly extreme the sorts of opinions these people have and their justifications for having them is mired - deeply mired in false philosophies and misguided doctrines.

The pre-market Nasdaq futures are just insane today. Nvidia down 12%? Lmao

I too have written a piece on DeepSeek, now I'm like everybody else this week.

Venture capitalists and AI luminaries are using artificial intelligence to write books to create more propaganda for their investments. I'm referring to Reid Hoffman's Superagency book. I'm hearing reports of DeepSeek being able to write better than Claude or ChatGPT.

AI 'godfather' Yoshua Bengio says AI agents could be the 'most dangerous path' Why do I get the feeling that we aren't listening to our AI granddaddies? Source: Business Insider search.app/a3GK

Zuck wondering if Bezos is secretly behind DeepSeek.

wtf, so many articles on DeepSeek. A very big vibe shift in the AI zeitgeist.

Meta's head of AI seems to be taking aim at OpenAI here. This idea that Sam Altman has a lock on AGI with his closed source models has totally been destroyed by DeepSeek in early 2025. And it makes American startups look bad.

Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta: "AI is not an existential threat, and AGI is a myth. There's no doubt AI will match human intelligence in some areas, but intelligence isn't linear. Open source is essential to keeping AI inclusive and accessible."

Finally some recognition from the only person that really matters, AI itself. DeepSeek seems to recognize my work:

In 10 to 20 years we are going to laugh and smile at the beginnings of Generative AI. Many of these brands and products will no longer exist in 2035. Very retro companies and products.

A while ago it was model merging, now it's distilled models. American capital is just setting foundations for what comes next.

AI Infrastructure needs a lot of energy. China's recent achievement in sustaining a fusion reaction for nearly 18 minutes marks a potential milestone in the field of nuclear fusion research. It broke the previous record of 6 minutes towards a practical fusion energy generation.

The size of the U.S. arms sales backlog to Taiwan remains large. An analysis by the Cato Institute of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan through Nov. 2024 shows a backlog of almost US$22 billion; about US$10.9 billion in traditional weapons, US$8.2 billion asymmetric and US$2.7 billion in munitions.

OpenAI’s $100 Billion Stargate Data Center in Texas Will Reportedly Only Employ 57 People. Stargate intends to employ “at least” 57 full-time employees earning an average wage of just $57,600 annually, according to documents seen by Bloomberg.
