100% agreed, it's funny because Europe has ARM and ASML, Taiwan is cool with the west and can produce chips, you even technically have a GlobalFoundries fabrication plants in Dresden so you can design and produce the chips, design the underlying instruction set but for some reason Europe just can't put the whole thing together into a competitive product
I've seen it mainly used to assist with python scripts which work well not sure on how well it does shell scripts
Building a cheaper model that's not as good as the top AI models is not the best way to build AI models, cheaper yes, but Deepseek isn't the best AI model out there, it still gets beat by Googles/Claudes/OpenAI etc
A better way would be to combine the Deepseek training optimisations with raw power of Americas/nvidias hardware
We're still at an early stage with AI, there's nothing to suggest we're anywhere near the end of Jevons paradox
In the AI FACTORIES!

...In terms of actual chips probably nvidia...
yeah it's definitely an assistant not a cheap developer... or is it :O
Devin just came to take your software job… will code for $8/hr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhIm-Dk1pzk /s
I'm learning javascript and love it, so much easier to query Mistral/Qwen/Deepseek Distilled than scrolling through endless search results hoping someone ran into the same problem I did
I also run the AI models in LM Studio on my own machine so I'm happy with that as well, I try to self host where I can
I think the saddest thing here is that Europe has no capital markets union where it's own private companies should be putting this money in
Europe will always be behind while it's more difficult to raise funds and do business
This AI is just the latest thing, who knows what else Europe will soon fall behind in
If I open a debit/credit account at any bank in Australia I get access to one of two networks, Visa or Mastercard, both American, no other option, why? Is this really the end game for credit card networks, 2 companies made in the 80's?
How Credit Controls Your World - Ordinary Things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGJ051u38Xo
Why can't good old fashioned local Australian companies rip money out of "suckers"?
I don't understand why if I make a credit card payment between 2 Australian bank providers America should get a cut of the fee
There's also:
People around me will cheer for this since they are not working in the programming industry
I don't know how you can say this when programming is one of the best uses for AI
there’s a sub called news and it’s full of american news
so world news is by default not american news
For anyone who wants to help out speeding up Russias death spiral I always recommend to donate to https://protectavolunteer.com/ it literally sends your donation straight to the front line:

We are helping Alpha Company get a trailer.
They need a trailer to transport broken vehicles and ATVs to their area of operation. It will cost around $5,000 and we have around $2100 raised so far.
This will actually save them money long-term as they won't need to pay towing fees to get broken vehicles to mechanics. For any donor that contributes $250 or more, Ronin Team has signed Ukraine flags and has a polaroid photo that we are sending to these donors. You can donate at protectavolunteer.com and choose "1st Squadron."
A volunteer will follow up with you to get your address if you are getting a flag. Please be patient to get these as shipping internationally can be unpredictable.
There are others like https://savelife.in.ua/en/ which is awesome and I've donated to all last year as well
Changed title because no need for youtube clickbait here
What is going on in Sydney??
Heya!
?? Really like what? I must be blind, Deepseek just made GLOBAL headlines, like my own local logan radio station mentioned it on its news the other day!
