kind of hilarious how deepseek is exactly what chatgpt was supposed to be—what openai originally promised—before sam pivoted hard toward profit. china going open source on ai is a wild plot twist—basically throws out every argument @vkhosla & others made. this is like watching - We are witnessing in realtime why building >>> marketing

Modern McDonald’s has the feel of a Soviet cafeteria tbh. Very cheap, highly consistent, reasonably healthful, totally ubiquitous, prioritizes efficiency, neutral decor, inexpensive-yet-sturdy fixtures, subtly entangled with national identity.
