Welcome to another episode of Mid Mic Crisis! This week, Bunchu and Chamber dive deep into DeepSeek R1, the latest AI model that’s shaking up the tech world. From its surprising cost-effectiveness to its impact on Nvidia’s stock price, this episode explores whether DeepSeek is truly revolutionary or just another AI hype cycle.

But first, Bunchu powers through a flu-game level performance while Chamber ponders life’s biggest dilemma: spend $10K on a hair transplant in Turkey or fund a Bigfoot expedition with survivalist legend Les Stroud. Spoiler alert: AI has an opinion on this!

The discussion covers the NFL playoff controversy and whether the Chiefs are being handed wins on a silver platter. Bills Mafia heartbreak is real, and the episode breaks down what really happened in the game against the Chiefs. CFL expansion teams become a topic of debate as AI-generated suggestions like the Halifax Schooners and London Foresters take center stage.

The conversation shifts to how AI-powered deep reasoning is changing the landscape of large language models and how this development could impact future innovations. Hilarious consequences ensue when YouTubers decide to bully a $70K humanoid robot, proving once again that human curiosity knows no bounds.

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is how DeepSeek R1 claims to have trained a top-tier reasoning model at a fraction of the cost of competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, causing a stir in both the AI and stock market worlds. Nvidia's stock took a massive hit due to speculation that AI models may soon require fewer GPUs for training. Open-source AI models like DeepSeek are disrupting the AI landscape, allowing developers to run powerful models locally without privacy concerns.

Sports conspiracies remain a hot topic, with questions about whether NFL refs are rigging games for the Chiefs. CFL fans are desperate for expansion teams, and AI-generated names like the Halifax Schooners and London Foresters might just be the future. The discussion concludes with a warning to never, ever mess with a humanoid robot on stream.

Would you rather invest $10K in a hair transplant or spend it on a Bigfoot hunting adventure? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
