The Daily Mumfuck

Okay, let me cook, pleaseeeee. America might pour massive amounts of money into AI ventures like OpenAI and the rumored Stargate AI, but a Chinese company just developed a significantly more efficient model called DeepSeek—achieved with lower-powered technology and a smaller budget. The bottom line? Greater efficiency.

The U.S. aims to solidify its position as a powerhouse in the AI sphere, but here’s why this is interesting: I don’t care about AI at all. Let’s compare this to the U.S. military. We devote immense resources to being leaders in “exporting violence” and striving to be a global powerhouse. But what if the U.S. government is severely underestimating the efficiency of other militaries? What if America’s military could achieve more with less?

American exceptionalism continues to crack! Yay! And once you make a god bleed—as the saying goes—you can kill a god. I hope this empire fucking crumbles.
