Maybe? But DeepSeek open sourced a lot of their code recently. Like, literately all their infrastructure. Once again, putting OpenAI to shame.

I'm sure it works in theory but wearing that for however long sounds a bit much. Now, is it a good idea? That's a whole another can of worms.

Elon Musk’s Dad Says He Wasn’t Political as a Kid, Was Friends With His Black Servants in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

Elon is putting a chainsaw to the government. We're not just going to sit here and ignore him while he ruins our lives. The hate is justified.

They're throwing billions upon billions into a technology with extremely limited use cases and a novelty, at best. My god, even drones fared better in the long run.

President Trump said he had ordered U.S. strikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels after the group vowed to resume attacks on commercial ships transiting the Red Sea, saying that “hell will rain down” until the strikes stop. 

“Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom,” Trump posted Saturday on his Truth Social platform. “No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.”

The U.S. will hold the Houthis “fully accountable,” the president said.

The Houthis are among the combatants in Yemen’s long-running civil war.
