I can't be the only one who wants to see both of them losing this fight.

DeepSeek is completely free and open source, why do you want it to fail?

Because it's designed by a genocidal imperialist regime and intended to increase its global influence. It's a heavily censored model that spreads Chinese government propaganda and distorts the truth.

right there with you. but seeing them scrambling after being so smug about their overpriced product has been nice.

I find myself in an interesting situation because I want to abolish copyright and institute UBI. I don’t really think you can “steal” images on the internet, but seeing OpenAI whine about intellectual property now does bring some schadenfreude.

The only thing I don't like it stolen artwork/voices/identities being used.

I also don't like how I have to now hyper analyze everything I see and hear as an additional step to confirm if I'm seeing something legitimate or if it's someone trying to mislead people.

I think my favorite parts of these tools are translation and simple word editing. Being able to prompt it to assist with various logic problems can also be nice.

So I feel conflicted. I guess like with any tool, it can be used properly or improperly

Oh man that's .....funny

404media usually does great work. The lack of editing here -- missing crucial words, subject-verb agreement problems -- makes this something I ducked out of halfway through.

I thought training a model from AI data reduced its effectiveness? Wouldn't this mean they still did something crazy since they got the opposite results?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think it's training from AI data, but rather distillation: which tries to mimic another model

So there's a difference in what's happening, one is taking the data as input and trying to form something new, while the other is trying to recreate the input

Ah I saw it mentioned but paywall blocked the rest lol

Distillation is basically reverse engineering for AI cool.
