Kylie Robison of The Verge joins us to talk about DeepSeek, the new AI LLM that, its developers claim, was built for just a fraction of the cost compared to its US-based competitors. We analyze those claims, talk about the competing interests trying to “win” the AI race, examine the harm and risks associated with rapid and unchecked AI development and, perhaps most importantly, ask whether or not DeepSeek is “woke”!!!!!!!
