Interesting post about #AI bubble from a Chinese perspective. Use Google Chrome to translate the text -

"The future of large models will be the same infrastructure as power plants. Users have no loyalty and will go wherever they can get cheap electricity."

Interesting. So it was US hackers?

Anyway, I'm going to try read the original Chinese report. I like that the Chinese companies banded together to work on this.

Look, it's fine if you hate Deepseek for Chinese reasons, it's your right. But leave it alone so that the rest of the world can benefit from it. You have your ChatGPTs et al, use it and leave Deepseek for us. The more they do this, the more determined we are to use Deepseek and other Chinese AI out of spite lol

Is Perfect Match a bad match for women?
I watch the first two episodes to evaluate. Here's what I think.

@mercutio it's slowly but surely going away since I left Weibo 😆

Are Western social media platforms like #X, #Facebook, Instagram etc just meaner? Is Chinese social media like #xiaohongshu better? Not really. But I can say one thing for sure: #Mastodon remains my social media.

Ya know, I thought I wouldn't mind #PerfectMatch and thought that the complaints about the drama being misogynistic (from China viewers, mind you!) is inflated.
Turns out they were right. LOL
The main lead (Wang Xinyue) was very unlikeable in the first 20 minutes of the show, lecturing his cousin's wife of being a bad wife for being "too jealous" because his husband was too flirty with women?
I don't know man, if this is how they introduce love interests.... lol

@lookitmychicken the best thing!

@villainousfriend best this way! Keep yourself clean and clear!

PS: I loved it so I hope you will too ;)

@kojote I think they may be referring to the drama involving the founder. He's making decisions that could damage the ecosystem, so some people prefer to be cautious as they don't want to be caught with a service the founder doesn't like. But honestly, I am on wp.com and I don't give af because I can always migrate away to another provider it I want to. Right now, far too many CMS are too expensive and too proprietary for me. @tarheel @dansinker

Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force (slightly spoilery review)

Although Ji Fa manages to escape with his life in Creation of the Gods I, the tyrannical emperor Yin Shou refuses to let him go. He sends an army to Xiqi to kill him and wrest the Fengshen Bang from him.

Creation of the Gods II quick verdict: 👍👍👍👍👍

Love it!

But I have a soft spot for old fashioned xianxia, where the stories are adapted from ancient Chinese mythology and fantasy classics.

Personally, this reminds me of the second part of the Lord of the Rings, with that impossible siege and a terrible army.

To me, the action and plot never faltered even a second. And there were many cool battle moments. And the female general? Now that's a right proper female general.

If it's playing in a theatre near you, do make the effort to see it in the cinema. It's that kind of movie.

PS: There are three end credits scenes so don't leave the theatre when the movie ends.

This Singaporean's point of view about the Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year controversies is pretty much mine and other Malaysian's.
