The milestone highlights how DeepSeek has left a deep impression on Silicon Valley, upending widely held views about U.S. primacy in AI and the effectiveness of Washington's export controls targeting China's advanced chip and AI capabilities.

It's not just people, it's also that China invests heavily in the building blocks of effective industries. They're serious about education and healthcare as public services, they invest heavily in transit. You can't expect life to bloom in a desert, but the US keeps acting like stripping away everything necessary for industries to prosper will somehow make them prosper harder.

Requisite disclaimer; The CCP are an appalling autocracy with a litany of crimes against humanity to their name. Just because they do some things well doesn't make them worthy of admiration. Yes, I'm looking at you, .ml

Maybe not in a vacuum, but compared to pretty much any other government in the world right now, they are still very much worthy of admiration lol

How much shoe polish do you go through monthly keeping a sheen on those oversized shoes?

There are plenty of national governments not engaged in genocide or imperialism. There are tons of governments better than China.
