That’s not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn’t even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice.

This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it’s a much better way of making progress. See ITER.

Very irresponsible by King then:

Go take some project management courses or whatever, you’re the one bitching instead of doing anything, you figure it out.

They need your planning skills then. Go help.

Irrelevant.

This has got to be the most American thing ever, expecting there’s some hero that’s going to save the day.

Go out and be one yourself.

If you want to do something you’ll find a way. If not you’ll find an excuse.

At least be honest with yourself…

My hot take: yes it’s perfectly acceptable.

You are only partly correct when you say “cruelty doesn’t change minds”. I’ll up that and say that you cannot change the mind of a jackass who buys cyber trucks, no matter what you do.

What you do is show them that there are consequences to their choices, that they’re not somehow immune like they think they are on Facebook or on their preferred social media echo chamber.

And if that doesn’t change their minds or makes them consider their choices much more carefully, then they fucking deserve it.

EDIT: also, that’s written in the dirt, isn’t it? Is that what we call vandalism nowadays? What do you call it when the french burn a few cars down when protesting, a world war? Just go wash the shame off, you slob…

taste a lot like soda water to the non-american beer drinker that is used to a lot more body and/or bitterness.

This right here, you’ve nailed it exactly!

Otherwise described as “tastes like piss”, they usually taste like a watered down version of a proper beer.

It’s like being used to freshly squeezed orange juice, then someone comes along and adds half a cup of water and a bit of sugar because it’s “too acidic” or something.

Yes but that’s from a company that builds decent cards at an acceptable price, and not from the HypeLords of the Lesser Return on Investment Unless You’re a Farm.

(Getting ready for the downvotes!..)

So you can’t download them, you should run them directly on tencent cloud or something? Smart…

Big ones too. Case in point, USA.

I love how this post makes a bunch of claims, and yet provides zero sources, and thus, has absolutely zero value.

It’s digital noise, spam at best, evil misinformation at worst.

Ah yes, selling your integrity for clicks and pushing propaganda for cash, welcome to the information age.

It seems like a smear piece because it makes it sound like DeepSeek is doing something that the others aren’t, while the truth is that ever single on of them collects your data.

At best, it’s disingenuous. At worst, with the ability to run locally, it’s a blatant lie.

I haven’t looked into running any if these models myself so I’m not too informed, but isn’t the censorship highly dependent on the training data? I assume they didn’t release theirs.

I wouldn’t downvote an ignorant for asking a question, that’s actually praiseworthy.

But I will downvote an ignorant who somehow is so entitled that they think it’s others’ responsibility to enlighten him. Go lick a candle.

Yeah, China has almost double the population of the US and EU combined.

That’s where “developing nations” come in - India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brasil, Nigeria… AFAIK these are mostly western-aligned when it comes to tech platforms, but that could be up for grabs.

They must have hired some former Nvidia marketing guys.

End stage capitalism of the brain, all your ideas are ours and you owe us money for thinking them.

What a great idea there bud

IP block it. Boom there goes eSNI and DNS.

Sure, it’s crude, but again: it doesn’t have to perfect, it just needs to create havoc with Google services to push away a regular user, who has no idea what DNS even is.

A better approach though is to fine Google, with a % of revenue increasing until compliance. They’ll very quickly be incentivised to comply or shutdown.
