“The reality is that DeepSeek’s January 2025 release should not have caught anybody off guard. DeepSeek has been transparent about its research and ambitions in AI development, publishing its research in a series of more than 10 papers on arVix and GitHub prior to the January paper,” not to mention disclosure elsewhere. “Despite DeepSeek being an open secret to many, the release of its R1 models, did blindside U.S. tech Illuminati and market whizzes.” Much of this is due to the “dangerous assumption” that U.S. technological dominance is assured because of “an insurmountable lead in frontier AI technologies.”

“The predictably ever-worsening scandal surrounding the Hollywood sexual predator Harvey Weinstein” was not a surprise. In the business, his indiscretions were an open secret. “Another open secret–one that’s more widely known and of even more consequence than Weinstein and his prey” is that “Donald Trump is clearly not fit–temperamentally, intellectually, or, it seems increasingly clear, psychologically–to continue serving as president of the United States…. It’s all but guaranteed there will come a day for Trump, exactly like the moment we’re experiencing this weekend with Harvey Weinstein, with a flood of people suddenly going public with their behind-closed-doors Trump stories that things were even worse than anyone imagined.”
