- Comment on DeepSeek-V3 now runs at 20 tokens per second on Mac Studio, and that’s a nightmare for OpenAI 2 days ago:
This is what Open AI wants you to think. Because Open AI is burning money at an unprecedented rate and still raising money. If DeepSeek is able to do what they do if a fraction of the money, the VCs and Microsoft will begin asking questions.
- Comment on More than 40% of all US PS5 and Xbox play time last month was spent on 10 live service games [VGC] 4 weeks ago:
Same. I find myself increasingly alienated by so called AAA games and turned to more indie games. I don’t need high graphics nor 60fps, just give me good game play.
Vampire Survivor and Balatro are only two of the more successful examples. I bought dozens of other indie titles that have little to no media coverage.
I do play one GaaS (from Mihoyo) casually though and it sort of fill my need when I want something to chase.

Agreed. Chinese social media is not perfect. But unless you live in China, using Chinese social media might actually be better than Meta, or Twitter.

As expected. One more reason we should not let students use them in schools. They need more chance to practice and master the things they learn instead of just “offloading” to AI.

- Comment on China’s DeepSeek AI poses formidable cyber, data privacy threats 1 month ago:
DeepSeek is actually much more “open” than a certain “OpenAI” And this project has nothing to do with the Chinese state, otherwise you wouldn’t see it open itself up like that.
