Well yeah, both sides are fucked so I'll use the free tool and not the $200/month tool, it really isn't rocket science Even if deepseek is a chinese communist

Well yeah, both sides are fucked so I'll use the free tool and not the $200/month tool, it really isn't rocket science Even if deepseek is a chinese communist party evil trick what do they get ? My shitty code ? Big deal, at least I'm not down $200 a month, which is half of my rent

If they would establish deepseek in their authorized version worldwide - it means they would establish their worldview worldwide. Students asking for help with homework will get the chinese approved version. Any housewife asking for recommendation who to vote and why, etc. But ... deepseek seems open source and the local version not restricted (as it likely was trained on ChatGPT in the first place). So I also refuse to refuse deepseek because it comes from china. I see it as more competition that hopefully will help with establishing good open source models in control of no single political organisation.

Any housewife asking for recommendation who to vote and why, etc. Well too bad for them, using a pencil to cut bread sucks too, that's why we don't do it. Meanwhile it's converting my json to xml and pissing code so I don't have to piss it myself

    Too bad for you, if the majority of them will vote someone not to your liking.

      That's why I'm investing in land and ammos instead of cryptos and nvidia stocks

        I can see the motive, but I rather invest in a world where I won't end up in a fortified home shooting hungry scavengers.

        I'm investing in my local community, it's closer to chicken coop vs rabbit cages than chatgpt vs deepseek, and sadly the war isn't even 1000km away as we speak

        A bit closer for me, but how will the local community help, if the war is coming? I considered switzerland for this reason. (Also I like mountains)

    Off topic: why the hell are you converting json to xml? I would rather convert json to yaml instead, a step forwards instead of backwards in evolution, but that is my opinion.

Any housewife asking for recommendation who to vote and why, etc. How is this any worse than where the US is now, getting the Musk/Zuckerberg/Bezos/Trump approved answers, if any answer can be gotten at all, after the current occupant of the oval office has silenced all federal agencies.

    Western trained models will tell you politically inconvenient things, and if they won’t, that info is otherwise freely available. Neither is the case for Chinese trained models.
