China's DeepSeek Develops AI Model Like ChatGPT Without Newest Chips—And It's Free

The Socialist Program with Brian Becker

On today's episode, Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss DeepSeek, the newest AI technology developed cheaply by a Chinese company without the most advanced Nvidia chips, causing an almost $600 billion stock crash for Nvidia. What does this indicate about the state of U.S. technology, capitalism, and education?
