    Is there a lab more innovative than DeepSeek? Imagine if they had the same compute resources that Anthropic and OpenAI have.

      Food for thought: Constraints are the source of creativity.

        This isn’t a law.

          Bell Labs would be a good counter example. All the resources in the world and no demands.

            General Magic failed with all the talent and all the resources. Cautionary Tales podcast featured General Magic in a recent episode; the basic argument was no constraints led to no focus.

              You don't need a counter example to a counter example.

              It's not that I think the opposite of the original statement is true, I'm suggesting that's it's just all noise as there are both successes and failures at both extremes.
