—CURT: Q: “Is [new Deepseek release strategy] a new counterattack on US AI companies?”—

Yes this is now a counter-attack at the US ability to generate leadership while losing lots and lots of money (billions) while a competitor leapfrogs them using tens or hundreds of millions. The private sector will not invest much longer without an equal restructuring from the ‘cash burners’.
The chinese govt is certainly happy – and I suspect this is one of the reasons why Xi did his about face last week (not covered adequately in the media) because he knows he’s ‘lost’ the political power race (Trump) and he has to go back to the emphasizing the private sector.
I have finally understood the full scope of how Trump is rebuilding the world order and it’s clear Xi has it figured out as well.
I mean. It’s unpleasant, but it’s brilliant, and the Europeans will have to end their false virtue signaling and their luxury ideology and this will have an earth shattering affect just as. much as the saudi leadership of the middle east and the russian and US alliance.
