Thanks for the corrections.

Ahh. Thanks for this insight.

It certainly does.

Until last week, you absolutely NEEDED an NVidia GPU equipped with CUDA to run all AI models.

Today, that is simply not true. (watch the video at the end of this comment)

I watched this video and my initial reaction to this news was validated and then some: this video made me even more bearish on NVDA.

Edit: corrected and redacted.

True. Thats why I tend to make small plays instead of being an absolute degenerate gambler.

The reason for the correction is that the “smart money” that breathlessly invested billions on the assumption that CUDA is absolutely required for a good AI model is suddenly looking very incorrect.

I had been predicting that AMD would make inroads with their OpenCL but this news is even better. Reportedly, DeepSeek doesn’t even necessarily require the use of either OpenCL or CUDA.

Even if they get banned, any startup could replicate their work if it is truly open source. The best thing about their solution is that it breaks the CUDA monopoly that NVDA has enjoyed. Buy your puts when NVDA bounces because that stock is GOING DOWN. There’s no world where a company that makes GPU’s is worth more than both Apple and Microsoft. It’s inevitable.

Thanks.

Edit: Not sure who’s downvoting me for asking reasonable questions.

Doesn’t the new Chinese model just released actually do abstract reasoning?

DeepSeek-R1 leverages a pure RL approach, enabling it to autonomously develop chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, self-verification, and reflection—capabilities critical for solving complex problems.

To my untrained self, that sounds like reasoning.

I’d like to see them hire some formal methods people to at least formally verify crucial parts of it.

It might actually also be good to analyze it with an LLM to identify any hidden problem areas.

I’m interested to hear why my idea is probably foolish as well, though.

Vote with your wallet. Boycott rent seeking companies that lock away their IP and charge money for access to it.

For example, FOR ADOBE TO DESERVE MY MONEY EVERY MONTH, 100% OF THEIR TECHNOLOGIES SHOULD BE OPEN SOURCE.

The only rent I happily pay for is a good VPN.

Maybe I should switch to hexbear. I feel like I’m on 2016 Twitter, arguing with Neera Tanden’s astroturfing PPI team and they’re trying to brainwash other leftists to think that Single Payer is somehow bad.

Hear hear!!! My sentiments exactly! Thanks for putting it into words better than I could have.

I can’t believe how many shitlibs there are in here, using this opportunity to guilt people with an actual conscience into voting for this piece of shit as if he has some sort of moral high ground.

What is the lesser evil when both the DNC and the GOP work directly for the exact same military industrial complex?

The real villain here is the system that makes any party outside of the two party system completely irrelevant: first-past-the-post.

We have two Republican parties. One of them just so happens to pretend better at being inclusive…but they secretly also wish that the poor could be burned to fuel their mega-yachts.
