a) As soon as I saw the domain I knew this was an ad (Lago has nothing to add to this conversation) b) DeepSeek is the most dangerous thing that's happened to Open Source models in recent memory, through no fault of their own. The hysteria has outrun the reality and now there's a going to be a similarly disproportionate backlash. It's already happening: Anthropic's CEO simultaneously railing against what they achieved and using it to justify stronger export restrictions, this morning. And our current government doesn't want to be going on stage talking about $50B mega projects only for laypeople to (mistakenly) believe it only takes a few million to do the same. And the idea that a Chinese company is the one that did this is going to play into so many hands, so perfectly. You can see the censorship story start taking the narrative despite this not being the first or last Chinese hosted model to comply with Chinese law. Soon the national security angle will break out, especially if someone jailbreaks or abliterates it and gets "harmful outputs" that other models would also happily produce. Some will couch the (very temporary and irrational) dip the market faced as a Chinese company managing to harm our markets by providing an unfairly priced product or some nonsense. Open source AI is not guaranteed. We might still see protectionist bans against releasing models over a certain size and other irrational nonsense, and this has played into the kind of hysteria that allows that to happen.
