What I find the most comical about this is that the whole situation could be loosely summarized as "OpenAI is losing its job to AI."
OpenAI should be excited that it has been freed of the tedious tasks of building AI and now they can focus on higher level and more creative things.

#332This is funny because its. 1. Something I'd expect to happen. 2. Lived through a similar scenario in 2010 or so. Early in my professional career I've worked for a media company that was scraping other sites (think Craigslist but for our local market) to republish the content on our competing website. I wasn't working on that specific project, but I did work on an integration on my teams project where the scraping tea…

#333This is absolutely hilarious! :) ClosedAI scraped human content without asking and they explained why this was acceptable... but when the outputs of their training corpus is scraped, it is THEIR dataset and this is NOT acceptable! Oh, the irony! :D I shared a few screenshots of DeepSeek answering using ChatGPT's output in yesterday's article! https://semking.com/deepseek-china-ai-model-breakthrough-sec...

I don’t care for Sam Altman and his general untrustworthy behavior. But DeepSeek is perhaps more untrustworthy. Models from American companies at least aren’t surprising us with government driven misinformation, and even though safety can also be censorship, the companies that make these models at least openly talk about their safety programs. DeepSeek is implementing a censorship and propaganda program without admit…
Is corporate misinformation so much better? Recall about Tienanmen Square might be more honest but if LLMs had been available over the past 50 years, I would expect many popular models would have cheerfully told us company towns are a great place to live, cigarettes are healthy, industrial pollution has no impact on your health, and anthropogenic climate change isn't real.
Especially after the recent behaviour of Meta, Twitter, and Amazon in open support of Trump and Republican interests, I'll be shocked if we don't start seeing that reflected in their LLMs over the next few years.

#337All the top level comments are basking in the irony of it, which is fair enough. But I think this changes the Deepseek narrative a bit. If they just benefited from repurposing OpenAI data, that's different than having achieved an engineering breakthrough, which may suggest OpenAI's results were hard earned after all.
They had to be cheating.

I personally love this chef's kiss of a flip flop sam did here: https://blog.samaltman.com/trump https://www.reddit.com/r/YAPms/comments/1i7ry5m/sam_altman_g... Only a truly talented piece of shit can be as prolific as this. "He is irresponsible in the way dictators are." Chef's kiss. Edit: Kids, don't aspire to be like Altman. We as a community need to espouse more values than tech is gonna tech .

I had literally come to this post to say the same. You beat me to it.
USA is going crazy over deepseek and to me , it just shows that the world is a black swan , an AI bubble.
I am not saying AI has no use. I regularly use it to create something , but its just not recommended. I am going to stop using AI , to grow my mind.
And its definitely way overpriced. People are investing so much money without seeing the returns? , and I think people are also using AI because of a sense of FOMO , I don't know , to me its funny .
I really really want to create a index fund with strictly no AI companies. Since this doesn't feel diversified enough. Like sure nvidia gave a quarter of return the last year , but I mean , at this point , it almost feels the same as that of bitcoin. The reason I don't / won't invest in bitcoin is I don't want "that" risk.
This has been a boggling year.
I have realized that the world is crazy. Truly. Trump winning from going to the point of getting shot to deepseek causing nvidia / american stock market to go down , heck even bitcoin! , its so crazy , trump launching his meme coin. If the world is crazy. Just be the sane person around. You will stick around , that's my philosophy. I won't jump on AI wandwagon . But its still absolutely wild & horror seeing how a "sideproject" (deepseek) absolutely put american stock market in shambles.
I want more diversifaction. I am not satisfied with the current system. This feels like a bubble and I want no part in it.
