I have no idea why people celebrate this. It is replacing one feudal lord by another. We don't need AI at all. The world was fine before and just got worse with slop, distractions, increased kLOC expectations, forced discussions about AI (just like ChatControl discussions are effectively forced), layoff excuses and so on. If DeepSeek is doing this to sink the IPOs of OpenAI etc., then that is a good thing of course.

Well it's not replacing one with the other. It's creating competition between them, which in so doing weakens each one.

How is it a 'feudal lord'? These are local models.

  An API is a local model? https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing "(3) The deepseek-v4-pro model API pricing will be officially adjusted to 1/4 of the original price after the 75% discount promotion ends on 2026/05/31 15:59 UTC."

    You can download the weights and run it yourself if you have appropriate hardware. Same can't be said for Claude Opus or ChatGPT.

We also don't need cars at all. Or computers. Or even electricity. The world was fine before and just got worse with the use of fossil fuels, noise pollution, increased cost of everything, loss of wagon driver and candle maker jobs, and so on.
