61 0 ReplyI mean, open is in their name. They shouldn't have dressed like that. They were asking for it.
60 0 Reply"And there’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI models, and I don’t think OpenAI is very happy about this," Sacks explained.
What makes this even funnier is that A.I generated content isn't even copyrightable.

If you zoom in on the line above, and I mean really zoom in you will see a violin small enough to express my level of sympathy.
43 0 ReplyBut, DeepSeek wouldn't be able to make money without using OpenAI.
Same what OpenAI said about copyright material they used to train ChatGPT.

11 0 ReplyThe company added that it's "critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models from efforts by adversaries and competitors to take US technology."
They repeated "US national security champion" in interviews today.
The direct path to AI dystopia/skynet is to ensure military supremacy. AI can be far more profitable if it assists that objective, and skynet does not need to sentiently choose machine supremacy, if it is already programmed for anti-human militarist supremacy. AI/media programming you to support skynet is essential to militarist supremacy. Genociding a slave class that gets uppity over oligarchy and lack of income from resources devoted to skynet militarist goals, is a natural progression.

5 0 ReplyCorporations are allowed to steal, just not from each other, that's bad. /s
5 0 Reply“It's also worth reiterating that despite its name, OpenAI is a closed-source and for-profit company — while DeepSeek's AI models are open-source.”
Smells like there’s a lawsuit just around the corner. How do you license a model as open source if the training data was stolen?
2 0 ReplyThe local versions I've tested out today are absolutely garbage. It frustrated me over simple questions.
