I started playing with deepseek and I'm feeling a "holy shit" moment for the first time since image uploading was added to 4o. Will I experience another "Holy shit!" Moment in the next 5 months? This market is subjective so I will not bet on it.
Update 2025-27-01 (PST): - **'Holy shit!' moments include any significant AI developments, both positive and negative, such as major advancements or significant setbacks (e.g., a major AI company experiencing a sudden collapse). (AI summary of creator comment)
Update 2025-05-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The creator has indicated that Codex, in the context discussed, is considered 'neat but nothing too special' and therefore would not meet their personal threshold for a 'Holy shit!' moment.
Update 2025-05-21 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Veo 3, while "giving feels" to the creator, does not meet their arbitrary threshold for a "holy shit!" moment.
Update 2025-05-31 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The creator has indicated that deepseek r10528 is considered 'meh, nothing surprising' and therefore would not meet their personal threshold for a 'Holy shit!' moment.
Update 2025-06-21 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - In response to a question about Meta's recent buyouts, the creator has clarified their threshold for a "Holy shit!" moment regarding corporate events:
A hypothetical merger between Meta and Anthropic might qualify.
The events seen so far are considered merely an "eyebrow raiser" and do not qualify.
Update 2025-06-27 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - In response to a question about the release of Gemma, the creator has indicated that while it 'Seems cool,' it is 'nothing that makes me shocked' and therefore does not meet their personal threshold for a 'Holy shit!' moment.

3.00wdyt of Gemma? Just released 3n yesterday, which comes close to R1
Not impressive compared to huge models, but holy shit, compressing the sum of human knowledge into a 2gb gguf is absolutely nuts. Could that be a holy shot for you?
@CarthagoDelendaEstNtCOc if meta merged with anthropic, that might be a hollyshit, but from the events I've seen so far, it's merely an eyebrow raiser
@TimothyBandors you have a high bar! but switching to YES because a lot can happen in 5 months and we're in interesting times
@TimothyBandors seems like a regularly planned stepping stone forward. Nothing excited me. Maybe tomorrow.

Another image gen thing that has me feeling feelings but not quiet a shocking "holy shit" moment
@CDBiddulph okay, actually, this just now had me close to feeling "holy shit"
Not resolving yes though, as I didn't really have the same "holy shit" as when I first saw Deepseek
@TimothyBandors I’m somewhat confident there’s an intermediate LLM stage under the hood here. Not that that’s cheating persay but it’s not as impressive as a generative image model displaying this behavior alone.
