Usually things that are open need not to be reverse engineered.
OpenAI is nowhere near 'open' as in open source or FLOSS.
Its more akin to Amazon saying that paying for prime is 'free shipping'.
And as a self-respecting hacker, I would much rather hack on Deepseek with their published base models, rather than fine tune and hope with OpenAI models.
And even on my meager hardware, I can barely generate 7 token/sec with OpenAI.
Deepseek? I'm doing 30 token/sec.
Guess which model I'm working with?

I don't care what economic or governmental system they use. But given what's being shown on XiaoHongShu, they're doing awesome. Or worse yet financial ideation and exploitation are eating through every fiber of the US.
Have I thought about emigrating? Absolutely. The USA is slowing down, and already behind. And current policies are going to put us solidly as a 3rd world nation.
I may not be able to move there in a reasonable time schedule, but I will definitely use FLOSS contributions from there, and work with people there and everywhere to grow FLOSStech.
