How a Chinese AI Disrupted America\u2019s Tech Titans Overnight| Vantage with Palki Sharma <\/a><\/p>\n

One version of the story we are all supposed to care about right now. <\/p>\n

Another, nominally better:<\/p>\n

Chinese DeepSeek AI System Just CRUSHED American AI Market & It\u2019s FREE!<\/a><\/p>\n

I went out looking, trying to find out what good this or any (worse, american) AI is supposed to do for me. <\/p>\n

I found things like: well, it can build you a bunch of meta and hash tags that will ramp up your SEO. <\/p>\n

Yeah. <\/p>\n

I don’t care. <\/p>\n

In the past, I’ve used image AI to build thumbnails for my videos. It was fine. I stopped. <\/p>\n

Nowadays, deepl.com works better for quick translations than the traditional google product. <\/p>\n

But beyond that, and so far, I don’t get it at all. <\/p>\n

And of course, there is a downside.<\/p>\n

The Next 3 Years of AI: Why Even Experts Are Terrified<\/a><\/p>\n

I refuse to be terrified. About that. <\/p>\n

Skynet’s gonna Skynet, I guess. The terrors we have now, in Gaza and Flint and the place where I walk past the dead couches, these are plenty of terror to fill my plate bounteously. <\/p>\n

I don’t feel a compulsion toward having any form of AI in my life, for the same reasons I don’t want anything to do with social media of any stripe, even the fancy new chinese rednote. <\/p>\n

I lived the first 35+ years of my life one hundred percent non-digitally. I read a lot, I wrote a lot. I listened to the NPR and I made my own NPR. <\/p>\n

Then for 25+ more years, I played with the new tools and toys, and curated out a few that work, sorta. This self-hosted WordPress platform. Patreon and Shopify and the almost-necessary evil that is googletube. I have two phones, and they are both allegedly smart, and it was stupid of me to go in that direction for the sake of text messaging. <\/p>\n

I dream of having only a landline. But my dream doesn’t end there. <\/p>\n

There is a cabin on the edge of the world. It is disconnected. <\/p>\n

Not just from the Digital either. <\/p>\n

There is no thermostat, and if I am cold I burn wood, and make a pot of something on the same stove. <\/p>\n

If I need to shit I squat over a pit.<\/p>\n

If I am thirsty … well, fuck. You and I ruined all the creeks, with our civilized modern Lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Maybe a well, or a spring, or a trailer with a Navajo tank on it for hauling in the stuff of life. <\/p>\n

Details, to hell with them right now. I’m trying to tell-a-Vision.<\/p>\n

On some level it’s scary to think about being that unhooked.<\/p>\n

But mostly, that’s a junkie’s fear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
