Meta's AI Layoffs, DeepSeek OCR, and the Call for Superintelligence Ban

In this episode, we analyze three major AI developments shaping the industry: a high-profile coalition's call for a global ban on superintelligence development with over 1,100 signatories including Nobel laureates and AI pioneers; Meta's strategic restructuring of its AI division with approximately 600 job cuts while continuing to invest in superintelligence research; and DeepSeek's groundbreaking open-source OCR system that compresses text as vision tokens, processing 200,000+ pages daily on a single GPU with 97% precision. These developments highlight the tension between rapid AI advancement and growing concerns about superintelligence safety, alongside technical innovations that could make AI more efficient and accessible.
