“AI is improving itself now” is going viral, built on a real DeepSeek engineer’s essay. But he explicitly rejected both readings the hype attaches to him. The real story is an elegy for lost craft — and a window into why talent chooses China’s open labs.
“BREAKING: China made it illegal for AI to take your job” is going viral. It’s wrong three ways. But the real ruling — you can’t be fired just because an AI can do your work — is quietly more significant, and no Western country has matched it.
In a system that governs by targets, China just deleted its jobs number for the first time in decades. The silence is an admission: Beijing no longer knows how many jobs will survive its own AI revolution.
