This is what makes the DeepSeek thing so funny. A bunch of grifters have been selling AI secret sauce for years - spooky mystery juice that could never be fully explained. Now a bunch of young guys just wrote a good algo, published it, and the circus tent burned down. 🤖

But it's open source. Everyone can have a look under the hood

Watching Tucker take this fake German journalist apart over Nordstream and Germany being a humiliated vassal is one of the cringiest things I’ve ever watched. But it tells you where Germany is as a country right now. Very sad. 🇩🇪📉

From Dan Wang’s new book. Interesting thesis. Engineers do tend to think in terms of solving problems. Lawyers profit when there are unsolvable problems. 🇨🇳

Maybe, hear me out here, AI was massively overhyped because NVIDIA is one the last remaining viable American hardware companies and Deepseek is just exposing the whole sector as a giant bubble full of capital misallocation and overinvestment. 🤔

Yikes. Rapes are up around 600% in Britain in the past 20 years and over 400% in the last 10 years. Very strange to me that this isn’t considered a major crisis by the authorities. 🇬🇧

63% increase in rapes in the UK over a five year period. That’s pretty grim. Looks like Britain is becoming a pretty unsafe place. Now the rape capital of Europe by a sizeable margin. 🇬🇧

1/ Everything is NOT going according to plan in Milei’s Argentina. The trade deficit is reopening, the peso is once more starting to collapse and is being propped up with an IMF loan. This was obviously going to happen to anyone familiar with the Argentinean economy. 🇦🇷🧵

1/ Now that the Nordstream pipelines are gone it's worth thinking about how a deindustrialisation of Europe via permantly high energy prices. 🧵

The responses to this have been nuts. There are apparently a ton of AI hype-beasts on Twitter who have literally no idea what to do now that a few underfunded Chinese guys blew up their collective grift. Their response is now that DeepSeek is some sort of CCCP psyop. 🥴😵‍💫

This clown is Europe’s top diplomat. Does she speak like a diplomat? No, @kajakallas speaks like a minor Estonian politician with limited talents who was promoted beyond her station with foreign money. 🇪🇪

It’s increasingly clear that @vonderleyen is a useful idiot promoted in Europe by the American security establishment. A no-hoper politician, the Americans use her stupidity and war obsessions to take advantage of Europe and rip the continent off. Europe are suckers. 🇪🇺🤖

Ursula: LNG from the US is more "affordable and better" than pipeline gas from right next door. Europe is being destroyed, and it is deliberate.

1/ Here is a thread on why recent record sales by the Chinese of US Treasuries might be one of the first signs of a major fiscal crisis in the US. There is a lot of confusion about how this would work so let's go through it step by step.
