Text below, for those trying to avoid Twitter:
Most people probably don’t realize how bad news China’s Deepseek is for OpenAI.
They’ve come up with a model that matches and even exceeds OpenAI’s latest model o1 on various benchmarks, and they’re charging just 3% of the price.
It’s essentially as if someone had released a mobile on par with the iPhone but was selling it for $30 instead of $1000. It’s this dramatic.
What’s more, they’re releasing it open-source so you even have the option - which OpenAI doesn’t offer - of not using their API at all and running the model for “free” yourself.
If you’re an OpenAI customer today you’re obviously going to start asking yourself some questions, like “wait, why exactly should I be paying 30X more?”. This is pretty transformational stuff, it fundamentally challenges the economics of the market.
It also potentially enables plenty of AI applications that were just completely unaffordable before. Say for instance that you want to build a service that helps people summarize books (random example). In AI parlance the average book is roughly 120,000 tokens (since a “token” is about 3/4 of a word and the average book is roughly 90,000 words). At OpenAI’s prices, processing a single book would cost almost $2 since they change $15 per 1 million token. Deepseek’s API however would cost only $0.07, which means your service can process about 30 books for $2 vs just 1 book with OpenAI: suddenly your book summarizing service is economically viable.
Or say you want to build a service that analyzes codebases for security vulnerabilities. A typical enterprise codebase might be 1 million lines of code, or roughly 4 million tokens. That would cost $60 with OpenAI versus just $2.20 with DeepSeek. At OpenAI’s prices, doing daily security scans would cost $21,900 per year per codebase; with DeepSeek it’s $803.
So basically it looks like the game has changed. All thanks to a Chinese company that just demonstrated how U.S. tech restrictions can backfire spectacularly - by forcing them to build more efficient solutions that they’re now sharing with the world at 3% of OpenAI’s prices. As the saying goes, sometimes pressure creates diamonds.

Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.
You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:

1.8% of all deaths in the US today are due to COVID-19. And we’re not even at a seasonal peak.
And after that?
That’s a great example!
I discovered that the grouchy, irritable and angry part of me was not “just my personality”, it was an emotional overlay that colored the rational self which lay underneath…
To me it sounds like you have low levels of serotonin. It made me irritable and easily angered too.
Medicine that helps with that are SSRIs (antidepressants). You have to ask a psychiatrist about those. Or, if you don’t want to go full medical about it, try a 5-HTP over-the-counter supplement, which is a serotonin building block. And also ease up on masturbation… It drains your serotonin.
You don’t even have to take these for very long. They have a side-effect of making you sleepy, because serotonin is processed into melatonin. Take them on and off just enough to get some perspective on how artificial your mood is, which is when you’ll gain a level of control that will stay with you even after you’ve stopped taking the medicine.
We truly are lost…
“Behind an able man there are always other able men.”
It’s a Chinese proverb akin to the"shoulders of giants" idea.

The envelopes have a too dark shade of green, are too glossy and have no return address the FBI says.

There is no such thing as a pineapple tree. That’s an AI image.
Pineapples grow in an even more ridiculous way.
They’re made that way so you don’t accidentally connect a gas cylinder to a water line.
It’s called a job. You demoncrats wouldn’t know anything about that.

I understand the saliva has a benefit for mosquitoes, but not the swelling and the itching (the “unpleasantness” in the title). In essence, our bodies hung this not-otherwise-useful allergic response on something the mosquitoes couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t give up and which was firmly specific to their bites, to single them out.
If there was no saliva our bodies would be pressured by natural selection to pick some other mechanism to make their bites unpleasant. An allergy to their chitin or a phobia to the sound of their wings, etc.
Evolutionary pressure from mosquitoes has probably been no small thing.
Yes, that’s right. There’s a “no” at the beginning of the phrase which gives it that meaning (I misread it myself, so I see where you’re coming from).
TL;DR: “No 14 year old boy will stop following someone if they’re considered evil and bad, but they will stop if they’re considered cringe”.
No, so try to keep it short.
