HOW THE US IS TURNING INTO A CRYBABY EMPIRE

Washington has developed a new habit — throwing tantrums whenever it falls behind. When did "American greatness" turn into nonstop whining? Let’s break it down. (1/7)👇🧵 Image
(2/7) "Hostile" BRICS dares to challenge the "mighty US dollar"? Trump has threatened BRICS nations with 100% tariffs if they create a new BRICS currency — even though Putin has already clarified that no such currency is on the table.
(3/7) DeepSeek: The latest "stolen" US tech scandal Trump says China’s AI success should be a "wake-up call" for US industries. His commerce secretary nominee claims DeepSeek’s AI was built on "stolen" US tech and semiconductors.
(4/7) Hypersonic weapons: Russia "stole" those too? Trump alleged — again, without evidence — that Russia stole US hypersonic missile designs during Obama’s presidency. He’s made this claim since 2020, but Moscow keeps mocking it.
(5/7) China "stole" American jobs Trump blames China for "stealing" US manufacturing jobs. But it was American companies that rushed to China in the 1980s after Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms. Image
(6/7) TikTok is bad… because it calls the shots? Trump: "With TikTok, I have the right to sell it or close it." Washington has tried banning TikTok, which is used by 1/3 of US adults, and forcing China to sell its US operations.
(7/7) From BRICS to AI, weapons to social media, US leaders keep claiming they’re being "robbed." Is this strategy about competition or just making excuses? Image

WHY DEEPSEEK HIGHLIGHTS ‘PIVOTAL MOMENT IN GLOBAL AI LANDSCAPE’

Claims about China lagging 10 years behind the US in AI were shattered with DeepSeek’s release, Zach Vorhies, an ex-senior software engineer at YouTube and Google turned whistleblower, tells Sputnik. (1/4)🧵👇 Image
(2/4) DeepSeek V3 features a “model distillation”, a groundbreaking innovation that allows the Chinese AI chatbot to create "mini" versions of itself that are “small and efficient enough to run on devices like iPhones or even Raspberry Pi,” Vorhies stresses. Image
(3/4) The chatbot “drastically reduced the memory footprint of its neural networks by quantizing model weights to just 4 bits and partitioning active memory during training,” he adds. Image
