For me, the best offense is offense. The act of being defensive, again for me, is nothing more than a demonstration that a company - or country in this instance - is simply unable to compete. In the past several hours we’ve had (1) Trump announcing that all chip software suppliers are to no longer export to China and (2) the US State Department is moving forward with revoking Chinese student visas. There’s no question that China has taken full advantage of the American open system. That should be a net positive as it forces both government and business to remain innovative and compete, compete and compete. On the student visa issue, this will result in a massive brain drain from America. How many Chinese students ended up remaining in the US working (and building) all of the highly successful tech companies? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/rubio-says-us-will-start-revoking-visas-chinese-students-2025-05-28/

DeepSeek is back, only this time the decision was made to be very quiet about the release. Suppose that is the better way to go about things otherwise the ire of the American government will come out guns blazing once again. Now we just need to see how the AI community reacts in the next couple of days. First impressions though seem to suggest that the updated model is even more powerful than the original from just a few months ago. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-28/deepseek-unveils-update-to-r1-model-as-ai-race-heats-up?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy
