From the notes, they seem humble and empathic.

We're lucky to have China imposing competiton to the western AI megacorps.

If it wasn't for China, I would probably have to spend $100/mo on AI instead of $10 like I do currently while using DeepSeek and MiMo (opencode Go plan).

And while I could do so comfortably, I feel for those who can't. It must feel incredibly isolating to only watch others have access to expensive models to leverage their careers.

I hope SoTA AI becomes an universal right because it will contribute to too much income disparity otherwise.

The second they get a hold of the market, Chinese Big Tech will be as bad or worse than US Big Tech.

We're lucky to have DeepSeek.

I see this problem already for me.

I have unlimited tokens at work than i go home what do i do? Spend 200$ per month? No def not.

When Anthropic increased the limits for their 20$ plan, i started again coding with it on a private project and it was fun and i did a lot in that 4 weeks.

Yep. After yesterday's moves around "Fable 5" even twice as much.

We've had a taste, and damned if I'm going to have the "means of production" snatched from me already?
