I’m hoping that it would force Dell and other companies to focus on meaningful innovation rather than relying on hype and cuts/cheap labor/short-term profits. Competition could increase the value of our work. It could also possibly make the work more interesting, as it would focus on creating products and outcomes we can feel a sense of accomplishment about. I may be naive, but I see this as one of the ways all this may play out.

Deepseek's big innovation is demonstrating that useful ai doesn't need multi billion $ data centers.
It will help us sell XE servers to a broader set of customers sooner. It will slow sales growth to mega accounts, but those guys would eventually go straight to ODMs anyway.
I wonder if it will end up speeding up ai PC adoption.
My theory is ai is slowing hiring already. That is why the mythical PC refresh isn't happening. Companies that distribute PCs to each employee don't have the same number of employees they had 4 years ago. Companies are shifting IT spend from PCs to servers
maybe we can fix data domain
Bwahahahaha. Dell. Innovation. Dell…. Bwahahaha
"cuts/cheap labor/short-term profits"
That's a publicly traded company in a nutshell. There's a reason why stock prices go up when companies announce layoffs. That's all they care about.
Dell is not an AI player.
It's just a buzzword JC and MD hijacked to make them sound relevant.
