DeepSeek Proves AI Comes for All Jobs - Even AI Jobs

The Path to AGI Becomes Obvious in Hindsight

I don’t want to get a reputation for reactivity or hyperbolic statements.. but what just happened in the AI world (also the real world) changed the development trajectory of humanity. I promised myself I wouldn’t go big 😔 Can’t help it. The game legitimately changed on January 22, 2025 when DeepSeek dropped their paper, DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning. Not just because of their performance - which is wild. Not even because of their cheap training costs vs the power of their model — that is mind-blowing, though. Talk about leverage. No,…
