Deepseek's new R1 model can gaslight itself into thinking there are only 2 r's in strawberry. We built a new form of intelligence and gave it all our existing neuroses.

This entire article was a wild ride, even for someone who isn’t shocked at the idea of human/AI relationships.
It’s tempting to laugh, but instead I’m asking myself what it reveals about deeper human needs for connection and validation in an increasingly isolated modern world.

ICYMI: DeepSeek just dropped a model that:
- Matches GPT-4 performance
- Costs 10x less to train
- Beats top benchmarks
- Comes with open weights
Insane efficiency from a relatively unknown newcomer.

Maybe it's because I'm a software guy and not a hardware guy, but I've had a hard time imagining "humanoids" as a multi-billion dollar market in the next 5 years. Am I wrong?

This doesn't shock me - I've been using WAYYY more o1 now that I know it's unlimited. Jevon's Paradox strikes again

Meta seems to be looking at AI avatars as a way to try and offset a world where human creation stagnates/declines.
There's only so many more quarters of growth you can squeeze out before there simply aren't any more humans to sign up for Instagram.

4. Llama 3 democratized AI. Meta's open models matched performance of ones 6x larger. Llama 3.3 70B brought GPT-4 class performance to consumer hardware. (and DeepSeek is now pushing this even further!)

7. Big Tech found creative ways to acquire AI talent without triggering antitrust. "Licensing deals" let Google, Microsoft, and Amazon grab top talent while leaving companies as shells.

9. The Taylor Swift deepfake incident exposed the dark side of AI. Explicit AI-generated images went viral, breaking platform moderation and spurring new legislation in California (over a dozen deepfake bills signed this year alone).

Honorable mention: xAI made waves with Colossus, a Memphis supercomputer cluster housing 100k NVIDIA chips. They raised $6B, doubled their valuation to $40B in 6 months, and plan to expand to 1M GPUs.
