... It is special.

There was over a trillion dollars wiped from tech stocks lol, in a massive win for consumers and the planet. You can't say this is like Flappy Bird or something.

The stock market does all sorts of silly things. If the stocks recover in 2 weeks to where they were, will that be deep seek erasing $1T and tech re-earning $1T? Or deep seek doing nothing?

The damage was done, if it was 100% based on truth or how fast they recover has nothing to do with it.

For sure. This one was pretty clear though. It's exactly what you'd expect when a moat evaporates overnight.

Even if tech stocks recover in 2 weeks (doubt) an open source model comparable to o1 with a 50x efficiency gain is still not just another app. Which means there will be bad actors with a special interest in spreading narratives on every relevant forum...

Which brings us neatly to OpenAI
