Worth making the point that many are falsely comparing the marginal cost for deepseek's training run to the total cost for the US companies to produce a model. Which isn't to say that the narrative of doing good things at lower costs is completely wrong.

Also spot on with the sustainability and Lysenkoism analogy. The deluge of university slop with the magic word sustainability in it is enormous.
