The image is a meme featuring a split composition. On the left side, there is a close-up photograph of a small dog with light brown and white fur, large dark eyes, and a slightly concerned expression. The dog's fur is long and fluffy, particularly around its face and ears. On the right side, there is a vibrant image of fireworks exploding in the night sky, displaying a variety of colors including red, orange, and yellow. The fireworks are in full bloom, creating a dynamic and colorful display against the dark background. Above the images, there is text in bold black letters that reads: "LITTLE YAPPING DICKHEAD SUDDENLY DOESN'T LIKE LOUD NOISES." The text humorously suggests that the dog, which might have been yapping before, is now afraid of the loud noises from the fireworks.

The image is a meme featuring two distinct sections. On the left side, there is a close-up photograph of a small dog with light brown fur and large, expressive eyes. The dog appears to be looking slightly to the side, with its ears perked up, giving it an attentive expression. On the right side, there is a vibrant display of fireworks against a dark night sky, with bursts of red, yellow, and white light creating a festive and dynamic scene. The fireworks are arranged in a way that suggests they are exploding in various directions, adding to the sense of movement and excitement. Above the image, there is text in bold, black font that reads: "LITTLE YAPPING DICKHEAD SUDDENLY DOESN'T LIKE LOUD NOISES." This text humorously implies that the dog, which might typically be vocal, is now reacting negatively to the loud noises of the fireworks.

Who still remember all those convoys everyone was planning to send to Gaza?
Who still remember people like me who called March to Gaza via Egypt & other stunts completely counterproductive that only wastes people's energies(except exposing obvious complicity of Arab states in Gaza genocide)?
Did anyone hear back from likes of Francesca, who peddled shitlib Hollywood fantasies?
Being at top doesnt mean they have good political instincts.
@palestine @lebanon @iran @israel @anarchy @anarchism
(or) even practical instincts for that matter
So many think just because media parades them / someone wrote a book / someone is hired to be certain place / someone is invited to write in newspapers/interviewed on TV/podcasts/have social media following/know about so called "law"/they have good instincts
So much "expertise" within social sciences space is simply regurgitation of what one has seen elsewhere
Instincts are entirely different.
One acquires good instincts when they know more in a given area.One can have completely distorted instinct & become dogmatic once someone knows an area more too
So,we cant rely on someone's perspectives only coz they are popular/paraded everywhere/says something we want to hear(without any practical considerations/feasibility study)
Lesson: Dont jump on the bandwagon because you see someone says what you want to hear.Truth often is bitter.

Why Chinese Open Source AI Model Will Win Over American OpenAI [20:37 | JUL 07 2025 | Carl Zha]
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/32631687
Generated Summary below:Video Desceiption:
Carl Zha talks to AI expert TP Huang on why Chinese Open Source AI Models will win over US closed OpenAI in global adoption of Chinese AI #china #techwar #deepseek

/ carlzhaGenerated Summary:
Main Topic: The AI race between the US and China, focusing on the potential for Chinese open-source AI models like Deepseek to surpass US closed models like OpenAI.
Key Points:
- AI Arms Race: The discussion highlights the view that the US and China are in an AI arms race, with significant implications for global dominance.
- Deepseek Ban: There's concern about a potential US ban on Chinese AI models like Deepseek, similar to the TikTok ban, driven by Silicon Valley lobbying.
- Open Source vs. Closed Models: The advantages of open-source AI models are emphasized, including cost-effectiveness, the ability to run locally without sending data to external servers, and customization to remove censorship.
- OpenAI's Limitations: Concerns are raised about OpenAI's reliability (downtime) and data privacy practices, making open-source alternatives more appealing for certain applications.
- Global Adoption: It's argued that countries and companies outside the US may prefer Chinese open-source AI due to cost, control, and the ability to tailor the models to their specific needs and cultures.
- Economic Implications: Restricting access to open-source AI models in the US could put American companies at a disadvantage compared to their global competitors.
- AI Hype and Investment: The discussion touches on the current AI hype and whether the downstream is paying for AI right now.
Highlights:
- The potential for a bifurcated world with US AI and Chinese AI dominating different regions.
- The observation that Deepseek's release wiped out $1.5 trillion off the US stock market in a single day.
- The point that open-source models allow users to avoid sending data to OpenAI and customize the model to remove unwanted censorship.
- The suggestion that the US political landscape is influenced by Silicon Valley's financial contributions.
