A true "moonshot" moment meeting @sundarpichai !!! Sundar’s commitment to pursuing profound ideas—even when failure is a possibility—pushes me constantly #NRF2026#Google#AI
As we are learning DeepSeek is one of the most sophisticated psyops of all time.
Here's how it went down:
1) Release the model open source.
2) Include highly detailed papers for all other people to replicate your work.
3) Create a novel SOTA RL algo that uses less memory and bandwidth than PPO and release it absolutely free so anyone can copy it for their own work.
4) Make sure it's super easy to fine tune so that others can easily SFT out any local law abiding answers about Tiannamen in about half a day for $50 in compute.
5) Cackle while saying muahhahaha you can only run it on our servers. Oh wait actually you can run it on any hardware you want, fine tune it, replicate our entire method on your own models, which lifts up the entire research community.
Truly one of the most dastardly and sophisticated plans to come out of China in a long time!
Moravec's paradox again: people think displays of self-awareness are breakthroughs, but in fact it's much easier to "fake awareness" than reasoning tasks like solving novel math or coding problems.
The latter requires true generalization. The former only needs more human-authored alignment data and relatively shallow pattern matching.
Totally agree, "The fintech hype is reversing, now everybody wants to be a bank". The reason: Trust
