Nah, it's the same old sparkling autocomplete it looks like from testing, it just only slaughters 2 lakes instead of 8 to do the same task(because China can't get advanced chips due to US export bans, so they actually had to -optimize- instead of throwing more money at more hardware).

Attached: 4 images Tried out the new and popular “Deepseek” LLM with my standard “tell me facts about the author of PCalc” query. At least half were misleading or straight up hallucinations. LLMs are not a suitable technology for looking up facts, and anybody who tells you otherwise is…...

Top AI Investor Says Goal Is to Crash Human Wages

Yes, well, while we the people want rosy from the jetsons; the rich want absolutely EVERYTHING from that one matrix animated short, but only for themselves. And Terminators.

So you can see the bind they're in.

They really have absolutely no long-term plan or end goal other than More Money For Me Forever Eternally And hug Everyone Else, don't they.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh no, they do have long term plans. Or at least: they have what they consider to be long term. But they're also business people: so long term is two to three quarters from now, not even a full year, and absolutely nothing beyond that.
