The last 24hrs have been hilarious. Would have posted this yesterday but got too tired and here we are. Somehow, I'm glad I held off as more stories(info) have surfaced since then.
What's been on my mind since is why we are so surprised that China will always go right ahead to make anything cheap so long as it gives them some advantage or at least absolutely fucks it's competitor.
This has literally been their common choice of cards for anyone who's been paying attention.
This is a Country of over 1.4 billion people, of course production of anything ought to be cheap. If you have that much numbers and are not leading the world in at least one industry you may as well step right up and receive your trophy as the world's center of useless people.
Before I run this question by ChatGPT and copy-paste it's woke response, let me just say that this is quite comical that a while ago the U.S government was crying over China mining it's citizens data via TikTok and now Deepshit AI gets released and also Americans, can't keep their hands off it.
Why do Americans love and hate China so much? What's this toxic and absolutely sexual relationship about? Maybe ChatGPT will fill a Colombia in.
Alright, time for Chat to answer our question.
"Deepshit AI" seems to be a satirical or humorous term referring to AI technologies, possibly as a parody of companies like DeepMind or other advanced AI organizations. It's not a recognized term in the AI community, so it may have been coined as a playful or mocking reference to AI developments. The "Deepshit" part could be implying a critical or negative view on certain AI efforts.
Poor Chat didn't get the joke, let's rephrase.
DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup that has recently garnered significant attention for developing advanced AI models that rival leading Western counterparts like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, DeepSeek originated from the High-Flyer hedge fund, which specialized in AI-driven trading algorithms. The company has since shifted its focus to broader AI research and development.
In January 2025, DeepSeek launched its latest AI model, DeepSeek-V3, boasting 671 billion parameters. This model has been benchmarked to outperform existing models from Meta and OpenAI in various tasks, particularly in Chinese language processing. Notably, DeepSeek achieved this with a development cost of under $6 million, significantly lower than its Western counterparts.
Well, it only takes being called a d-bag and ordered to search the Web for Chat to pull the right data. Could have done this directly on Deepseek but the application seems down for new sign-ups right now, so I can't say if it's as good as advertised, but that frankly matters much less than the specified $6 million spend.
That's borderline crazy and hard to believe. I mean, as much as I want to say that OpenAI is probably over-funded and mismanaged, there's no way in hell it costs $6 million and China is frankly just trying to hide their access to hardware they should generally not have.
Yes, we are looking at 50,000 Nvidia H100 chips that they can’t talk about due to US export controls as per the views of Scale AI CEO.
This, by estimates shoots up the cost to above $1.5 billion, but don't take that number literally as labor cost, power, etc is not factored in but sincerely, none of that matters at the end of the day because the overall cost will likely still be lower than what's poured into Western large language models, either Silicon Valley has been repeated played or that's just the business model that works for them. I'm inclined to trust the latter.
Deepshit AI just wiped out $1 trillion from the stock market with some reporting higher numbers of losses ranging into $2 trillion.
Whatever the real value is, no one told me AI was already valued over a trillion with zero practical monetization.
That's some concentrated gas floating around, no? Just Nvidia selling chips I guess, nothing truly AI about that.
Certainly, there's market manipulation in place and both the U.S and China are involved. We can blow smoke up each other's asses about the most random of shits but at the end of the day, the motive behind everything under the sun is as clear as day to be “money.”
U.S fakes it until perfection, China makes it with cheap labor and sells it still.
Open-sourcing Deepshit(I actually don't think it's shit by the way) is quite the number China is running considering that just a while back, some Stargate project related to OpenAI was being funded $500 billion.
These people really just print money and fight each other over who will rule over people already conquered by inflation and state-funded wars.
I am just so glad this is all happening really fast because I can smell varying stages of slip ups that are going to give way to decentralized economies to break free from all these traditional shit shows.
