Simple example: Third party SW in a corporate context. Maybe you want to extend some permissions to some internal sites/parts of the FS, but fundamentally, there's limited trust.

I think it's worth carefully pulling apart _what_ DeepSeek is cheaper at. It's somewhat cheaper at inference (0.3 OOM), and about 1-1.5 OOM cheaper for training (Inference costs: https://www.latent.space/p/rea

Sure. But that is, for better or worse, perfectly legal. (No, I'm not saying it's great, but I'm saying this is still within non-dictatorship realms) Whereas executions have a small issue in that area.

There are, of course, not 20+ levels of management. The average fan-out in the federal government is 1:7 to 1:10, with ~2.5 million employees total. That strongly implies 7-8 levels of hierarchy, on average.

TBF, we're only on day 2. (I am 90% certain it won't come to that, but there's a 10% queasiness left that hasn't been ameliorated by the haphazard approach untethered from legality that we've seen so far)
