Yup, and that’s probably going to happen in the coming months, after that there’s no way to stabilize the prices.

Exactly, it’s a self reinforcing process with more countries fleeing the currency as confidence collapses. And having a global reserve underpins the US fiscal policy, if the demand for the dollar drops dramatically then it’s almost certainly will lead to a domestic economic crash.

I think some are used to suppress price domestically as well.

Yeah, as I recall it was just codex repackaged, but there is also the aspect of the tooling itself that the model interacts with which they massively fumbled. People will still use codex on its own, but nobody wants to ever use copilot.

I find it’s the first model I can run locally that actually feels genuinely useful for coding. I’m really excited about what things might look like in another year. We might really get current frontier model performance on a laptop at this rate.

kinda of hilarious that MS has a stake in both of the worst commercial LLM offerings

The thing is that even if the war ended tomorrow, it’s going to be years before production ramps back up to prewar levels. So, the damage is already done. The only question now is how bad it gets.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely the best approach if you don’t already have the hardware since DeepSeek is just absurdly cheap to use. Eventually, hardware prices are going to come down, and local models are going to keep getting more efficient too. So, dumping a few grand on a rig right now doesn’t really make much sense.

I feel very validated :)

@davel@lemmy.ml the requirements for running Qwen just got significantly lower, it’s basically the best local model at the moment

🤣

Exactly, China is just protecting their domestic supply here, but the real issue is that global supply chains were disrupted by the war on Iran, and we’re seeing more and more ripples from that every single day.

Workers in occupied Korea long to be liberated by their comrades in DPRK.

something something capitalism in a crisis…

we really should start interpreting this as in nations that stopped developing and are now stunted versus those that are actively developing

It’s always hilarious to see angry racists write opinions on subjects they have no clue about https://oilprice.com/Energy/Coal/Chinas-Renewable-Boom-Masks-a-Quiet-Coal-to-Liquids-Expansion.html

lmao plausible

It’s really instructive to see how China is applying AI in pragmatic and utilitarian ways while US companies are chasing the whole AGI unicorn. I also suspect there’s a big difference stemming from the fact that China has a massive industrial base which create a lot of niches for automation that simply don’t exist in the US. So, there’s much more focus on robotics, infrastructure monitoring, factory work, and so on.
