"DeepSeek is the canary in the coal mine. It’s warning us that when there isn’t enough competition, our tech industry grows vulnerable to its Chinese rivals, threatening U.S. geopolitical power in the 21st century."

Lina Khan on the dangers of not breaking the market power of the Tech giants:

"For years now, these companies have been arguing that the government must protect them from competition to ensure that America stays ahead."

But I thought Musk wanted total deregulation! Anyway, here's Lina Khan with a sharp piece...

Lina Khan is a Kendrick-level hater when it comes to big tech. 🤣

If she was a Kendrick level. Hater then she would have actually made some hits and not duds. Maybe she's the Drake in this

She was right. The facade is off now and we can see their true colors.

Everything she wrote here is correct. No notes.

@anindyabd
Strange arguments in this article -- did she forget it was Biden administration policy to enact the chip ban and TikTok ban in the name of national security? And does she think big tech and VCs like Andreessen (who says he represents "small tech") represent the same interests? The only major takeaway from this article is that she hates big tech but doesn't actually care about what tech companies do or how they compete with each other tooth and nail

imagine not only driving your biggest, richest and most influential supporters to the hands of Trump but doubling down on your position after losing the election.
and all this when you had 4 years to do something, did jack shyt, then using your influence to write tech hit pieces on NYT. Lina Khan is incredible.

Should we normalize just taking zooms from your desk, like a 1980s trading floor? It would be loud and chaotic, but the efficiency gains from not running between various rooms might be worth it.

I realize this is now the standard UI, but I truly don't understand how an average person is supposed to decide which model to use for which task

Meta has repurchased $129BN of stock in the past five years at an average price of $269. It is now trading at $704 $META

I’m back from threads jail, after a rate limiting bug on Instagram comments sent me there.
Don’t tag big creators who don’t follow you in other posts more than 3 times in a day or two, or you’ll get labeled as spam.
There’s no way to ask @zuck for a pardon via rage shake though lol

The Google owner, Alphabet, has dropped its promise not to use artificial intelligence for purposes such as developing weapons and surveillance tools.

The US technology company said on Tuesday, just before it reported lower-than-forecast earnings, that it had updated its ethical guidelines around AI, and they no longer referred to not pursuing technologies that could “cause or are likely to cause overall harm”.

Google’s AI head, Demis Hassabis, said the guidelines were being overhauled in a changing world and that AI should protect “national security”.

In a blogpost defending the move, Hassabis and the company’s senior vice-president for technology and society, James Manyika, wrote that as global competition for AI leadership increased, the company believed “democracies should lead in AI development” that was guided by “freedom, equality, and respect for human rights”.

DeepSeek is “warning us that when there isn’t enough competition, our tech industry grows vulnerable to its Chinese rivals, threatening U.S. geopolitical power in the 21st century,” writes Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission in the Biden administration.

No it’s because Americas tech industry is a scam. Just raising massive amounts of money on speculation. Then China just proved it wasn’t necessary

Once it gets to the point where energy infrastructure is the most immediate bottleneck, China will be in the driver’s seat. They are going to be leading the way in efficient, renewable energy while we are still jostling to drill in Greenland.

China made me lose faith in the market. I feel naïve now, because as China is not doing as well, the free market countries, particularly those who take the edges off of capitalism are doing well. Thinking of Scandinavia.

It’s funny because tech successfully convinced us that they needed to be big to compete with China.

More competition would be great but often people actually support monopoly unintentionally. Look how often people describe how they wish there wasnt multiple platforms for movies and just one. Despite this being understandable due to rising media costs, that ultimately is a monopoly

20/23
‪Rune‬ ‪@runefar.bsky.social‬

Additionally more people need to be made aware that it isnt just big tech designing things. There are a lot of other player who are much smaller and yet are still attempting to competite. More awareness of those individuals would be benefitial.

21/23
‪Rune‬ ‪@runefar.bsky.social‬

Finally the truth is that we really are on a infrastructure level behind on tech compared to other countries. This should be updated even if associated now with malicious actors yet it should also be combines with plans to counter inequity
