Yep.

among other things..

China releases an AI that rivals chatgpt and is opensource.

Do you think this was not known to the Chinese government?

If they have taken out this IA what do they have hidden?

Doesn't anyone read between the lines?

Funny thing, #Deepseek is a side project of people that stopped earning money on mining #shitcoins. LOL.

#AI

Would make me want to leave the US even more.

Also thinking of a unlocked phone where I can download anything

Also DeepSeek is nice so far and it’s open sourced.

I wonder if America is going to try banning it from the app stores like TikTok

Another day, another exchange I am suspended from.

All of my funds are conjoined or swapped between LN/XMR for privacy before sending to exchanges, triggering all sorts of nonsense AML flags.

The exchange I am with now is requesting proof of funds, meaning it wants to see fiat coming into my bank account from an entity I have a business relationship with, asking me to "kindly assist them" in surveilling me.

Except that all of my business relationships are handled in bitcoin – meaning that it is impossible for me to show proof of fiat funds.

Alternatively, the exchange says, I could send them “the address” to which I received payment in the last year, matching the amount of money I have exchanged on their platform.

Obviously no such address exists as I create a new address for each transaction (and so should you). Additionally, much of my money comes in through donations, for which I simply do not have an invoice.

I could now send them every single zap I ever received on nostr in the past year – for context, that would be over 250 zaps in the past week alone, s/o to all the zappers – or I could move my business to Switzerland, where I can exchange up to 1000 CHF per day KYC-free (for now), which is what I’m going to do.

However, since I’ll be more heavily relying on peer-to-peer exchanges from now on, I’ll likely have my bank account flagged for receiving weekly payments from randos on the internet, making it fairly foreseeable that I’ll be losing my bank account in the coming months as well.

Fundamental rights violations aside, the amount of complete nonsense work – and with that costs – this system creates both for the Government and private institutions is absolutely astonishing. If there ever was a true bullshit job, compliance officer would no doubt be it.

It’s time we end the global discrimination complex inherent to the financial system in which we are all guilty until proven innocent, only to upkeep an inefficient system that is useless in preventing crime but formidable for imposing mass surveillance on the people.

So no, I will not "kindly assist you" in surveilling me, and if I die on this hill.

Until then, shill me your favorite tools to pay my bills in bitcoin 👇

Hope it leads to tanking of gpu prices

Yea I wonder what the coming days will look like now that the cat is out of the bag. The big players won’t sit idly by for sure.

I’m curious. Essentially it sounds like deep seek just figured out how to be efficient. How to do more (or the same) with less. What if you combine this efficiency WITH the massive amounts of hardware? Does that get you anywhere? I.e. does the efficiency plus “lots of hardware” get you any breakthroughs?

Whoever open sources the AI is who I’m rooting for. IDK if that’s shortsighted on nationalistic grounds.

If China establishes a permanent lead on #AI, then #Bitcoin might America's only way to hold onto it's wealth.

Hypothetically, would a huge jump in coinjoin usage result in a similar pattern?

Sad chart looks like people with less than 1 bitcoin have sold off some since we reached 100k.
