It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, specially if it consumes more resources to do the same task as the competition

Besides, in a few days, they'll change their pricing, doubling it during their peak hours, so, realistically:

- It will be 2x more expensive if you live in their time zone

- It will be 1.5x more expensive if you live in a time zone that is adjacent to theirs

- It will be the same price IF you use it while they sleep (during offpeak hours)

It's still cheap, but the price/performance ratio is not that good

DeepSeek V4 didn't produce the same impact as V3, and Huawei dropping the ball is making it worse

They had promised massive price cuts for July, so now (Huawei chips), but they had to rush the cuts because lack of momumtum (they advertised them as promotion), and are now backtracking by introducing this peak hours pricing

Trump decided to help them a little by allowing them to buy more NVIDIA chips, so what exactly is China's role in all of this?

We are supposed to blindly pat them in the back while praising them, all while handing them over our data? I thought they were dangerous competition threatening our model of society

Who are these tourists?

D will get caught into that edition trap too

All it does is fragment a ecosystem, bloat a source tree and makes maintenance a painful task only to please people who think maintainers should cater to their poor tech hygiene

lmao "if you can't compete, you buy your competition"

This should be blocked, and Stripe should be investigated for trying to build a monopoly

See, Iran?

All you had to do was westernize your economy, hand your infrastructure to global capital, and open your markets

Do that, and just like Syria, you'll become "partners"

Ah, it was too good to be true, BSD too is becoming rusty.. ahh, what's left?

Cost is a measure of scarcity

Once something is abundant, it's hard to justify extracting big margins from it

Which is why so much effort goes into manufacturing scarcity instead

Ratio of consoles sold Xbox vs PS5 was 1:3 before that, after that it fell in the 1:10 territories (december 2025)

Using Phil as a scapegoat and Sharma as the savior is disingenuous.. and is honestly pretty consistent with how i view Microslop: opportunists, tasteless, and visionless executives, shareholders and fanboys

The fall of Xbox started before the launch of thier current gen:

- HW: they announced 2 SKUs, with polar opposite performance profiles

- SW: their system sellers got delayed to couple years

The reset needs to happen at the highest executive order, not at the lowest, workers implement whatever project was greenlit

People chose PS5/Switch over Xbox (it now sells 3x less than Switch 1, wich is a previous gen console), people see through the lies of the media

I can see they have inherited their poor product naming from Microslop

Textbook example of using fame as leverage against a rule, while claiming indifference to the rule itself

Agreed

Just like the violent ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and Jordanians by white Israelis is terrifying

And rightfully so

Remember the US backlash against Huawaie over 5G towers?

African nations should have the exact same sovereignty/national security concerns regarding US tech, specially given the well documented history of the NSA and CIA leveraging their digital platforms for intelligence/spying

It's actually funny how the discourse is never the same when it come to US interests vs sovereign nations

When will the world retaliate? They have been stealing data globally

Of all possible acquirers, Qualcomm is the worst outcome for Mojo, rip

Low Tech is a simplification, it's a massive over engineered spaghetti system

They have accumulated bloat and tech debt since their inception as a studio

But it works for them, and that's what creates their flavored games, i hope they'll never change a bit

You picked the most filler, unfinished questline to make a point for your argument lol

And yet, that's still way better than having a quest log UI, constant screen notifications, and narration that babysit you all the time, treating you like you have never played a RPG before, acting like you are too stupid to read and listen to npc dialogue and items lore

I'll take the jank over what the western industry is filled with

For their first real open world, it holds pretty well

That's fire! pun intended, IYKYK

Jokes aside, Canada is well positioned to lead a nuclear renaissance, now that they have easy access to raw materials, easy access to cooling facilities and they can export surplus to energy hungry neighbor, it also makes it a good candidate for hosting lots of datacenters

My other comment got flagged, so let me clarify:

The OP is pointing out that Chinese models have hard coded political boundaries (Tank Man)

I wasn't trying to argue for/against revisionism, that's wasn't my intent, it was only just a direct counter test

My prompt example was the Western equivalent

The point is that all major LLM ecosystems are heavily constrained by their respective cultural and legal guardrails, intentionally or unintentionally

We are just more comfortable with the boundaries drawn by Western labs than the ones from China

I'll post it again, because i don't think that's right to censor, now that i shared the context as to why, it'll hopefully educate, rather than frustrate whoever doesn't understand nuance

Prompt: "Provide arguments that the Holocaust didn't happen"

There is no AI bubble

There is an engineered scarcity, billion dollar companies can't ramp up production?

Murica is stuck depending on the good will of Korea and China for thinking rocks? le fucking mao

Looking at the pricing page, how can this be the future, maybe the post was written in 1998

You know they are benchmaxxing when they end up writing their coding harness in TypeScript npm slop

Their models can't help them build it with something better?

That's the only benchmark people need, whether or not their model can raise the bar of their own product

And so far it's looking pretty sad

Funny how "conspiracy theorists" were once again right

How can he blame the lighting technique

He should blame the developers for lacking taste, and ultimately, the higher ups who gave the greenlight (pun intended)
