Today in Current Affairs, professor Ron Purser exposes how AI's destruction of the university is even worse than you think, and goes well beyond students cheating with ChatGPT: https://t.co/TAUD4R7gxK
🐋 DeepSeek didn't just drop "another open model."
They open-sourced a gold-medal system — IMO, IOI, ICPC World Finals — at roughly ~25× cheaper than GPT-5 and ~30× cheaper than Gemini 3 Pro on output tokens.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale beats Gemini 3.0 Pro on multiple math/code benchmarks. The base model lands around GPT-5-High.
But the benchmarks aren't the story. The recipe is:
* Fix long-context cost (a new sparse attention mechanism)
* Spend real RL compute (10%+ of pre-training budget)
* Treat agents as first-class (85k tasks, 1,800 synthetic environments)
Here’s how DeepSeek actually built it:
The new Deepseek is here!
Gold-medal performance in the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
> created Linux kernel at 21
> built Git because no existing tool was good enough
> becomes backbone of servers, Android, cloud, supercomputers
> never chased fame, money, titles, hype
> stays private, consistent, brutally honest for decades
> still reviews patches, still improves Linux
> avoids drama like it's a feature
> influences the entire tech world without even trying
> lives quietly, does the work, no noise
Linus Torvalds is truly the most underappreciated legend of the tech industry
