Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

yeah. stuff like this pisses me off. It's an insult to the artist as well as anyone else enjoying art, and cheapens the process of making art as well.

Think ancient Chinese #philosophy is just about Confucius and Dao? The turbulent era of 770-221 BC actually gave birth to more than eight distinct schools of thought, each offering unique perspectives on power, society and human nature!

good thread to read more about deepseek. I particularly liked the interview with the deepseek CEO at the end.
Unfortunately, much of the coverage on DeepSeek and R1 is, frankly, bad. The stories tend to follow conventional narratives and miss the point. Instead, I recommend the following three things to read.
One, Ben Thompson's DeepSeek FAQ.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

According to a folk legend, in 514 BCE, Wu Zixu built a royal city for the King of Wu. Before his death at the hands of the king's son, Zixu instructed his followers to bury bricks of glutinous rice flour under the city gates for emergencies.
