- bloomingkales 2y agoI don’t know. Imagine a giant library, and a big corporation comes and steals it (OpenAI training on the internet/books). Then imagine another corporation comes and walks into the stolen library and scans each book so they have a copy (of the whole library ). The reason you don’t consider it theft is because we’re into deep level treachery here where right and wrong are beyond blurred. Just to add a slight bit of friction to all of this, I’ll just note that money and profit is involved. Lots of it. But when I said I don’t know, I really meant it. It seems obvious to me, but how could it be that obvious? I must be going crazy.
- pphysch 2y agoThat implies DeepSeek waltzed in and stole something resembling (ill-begotten) "trade secrets". It's more like DeepSeek legally bought OpenAI's public product, tore it apart and successfully RE'd it / used it to bootstrap their own thing. Like many other innovators and tinkerers.
