Michael Roberts on the Revolutionary Nature of DeepSeek

How ironic! Mordor capitalists imagined they had the market cornered on AI because of their control over microchips.  But they have been outfoxed, not by a competitive capitalist corporation in Europe but by a small start-up existing in of all places, China!

Mordor capitalists were salivating at the prospect of using AI to throw workers out of their jobs so they could dispense with paying wages and benefits. But DeepSeek has outdone these capitalists because it is not paying for the cost of chips. Its prices are lower and it can be run on computers free of charge. This DeepSeek project shows how a socialist policy can use AI that actually helps workers instead of terminating their jobs.
