The tech industry’s reaction to AI model DeepSeek R1 has been wild. Pat Gelsinger, for instance, is elated and thinks it will make AI better for everyone.
Gelsinger is infamous in the industry due to his very recent and catastrophic bout of poor management of one of the pillars of American technology. I’m saying that, broadly, I find it comical that any competent engineer would consent to work for him, specifically due to his tenure at Intel. I’m saying I wouldn’t personally work for him or an organization that picked him for leadership, full stop, regardless of which LLM models or frameworks he elects his company to use, or any other technology for that matter.
