    DeepSeek is really crazy cheap, though, and they don't have a giant pool of other invasive personal data to correlate it with.

    Sounds good to me, let the bots read the ads instead of the humans.

    I'm told there is a category of VC who picks their investments based on github stars.

    At the risk of arguing about semantics (and not interesting database semantics) it seems half the commenters here think "deep tech" just means "like, technology you go really super…

    I know that many practical databases already exist and where I come from refining or improving something that already exists hardly qualifies as "deep tech". Is PepsiCo doing deep …

    I'm very excited to keep pushing the frontiers of deep tech art history, just as soon as I complete my $150M Series B raise.

    Looking forward to the database analogues of IBM Watson and Tay.ai I'm partly kidding; there's plenty of space for innovation in databases. You should sponsor https://sled.rs/

    C'mon, databases are great but they are not in any way a "deep tech" field. Databases exist today in a zillion production forms as commercial products and free software. Deep tech …

    Better frameworks will still help AIs avoid silly mistakes. A smarter framework means you can be productive with a dumber/cheaper AI.

    You're arguing that we should be deliberately build evil and manipulative technology... why? To assert your own superior discernment?

    Millions of adults get hooked by gambling, social media, and AI that pretends to be a person. We need a better standard than "@mdp2021 thinks he's too grown up for this."

    That's a lot of fancy words to say, "I think I'm too smart to fall for the same tricks that work on other humans." How many hours did you spend on your phone last month? How many f…

    Irrelevant. Humans are frail and we shouldn't design systems with dark patterns that take advantage of human frailty.
