Steven Sinofsky is an investor, engineer, and the former leader of the Office and Windows divisions at Microsoft. Early in his career, he was Bill Gates’ technical assistant during the development of Windows 95 and the rise of the internet as we know it. Today in Pirate Wires, he provides a historical perspective on DeepSeek and explains why core technologies inevitably become commoditized. Sinofsky is confident that DeepSeek will serve as a wake-up call to U.S. innovators and spur a new, very different phase of American AI development.
