OpenAI and Anthropic need to get this free foreign competition banned.

Is that before or after the OpenAI and Anthropic pay off all the people and companies who's copyrights were violated when they used their works for free to train their models?

At least DeepSeek freely gives back the benefits.

in other comments, you're arguing for banning deepseek because it is "against democratic capitalism." And here you are, arguing for governments to protect domestic companies against foreign competition.

Competition is a good thing sometimes. It forces companies to innovate.

Of course, organizations like ycombinator gave that up many years ago. Now our industry is mask-off about their desire to create monopolies so they can collect exorbitant rents.

Care to expand on why? Or did you forgot the /s at the end?

I feel like '/s' has ruined irony on the internet. Irony is at its best if left ambiguous, lol.

Too many people have said too many stupid things entirely seriously.

Nah, they're serious actually!

Wait, did that need a /s?

If everything goes to plan everyone involved with big US models will be trillionaire and everyone else will poor and unemployed. If there are open and cheap to run Chinese models (and please god silicon) the financial house of cards that we have build will fall, people involved with big US models will be poor and unemployed, and everyone else will be slightly less poor and unemployed than in the first scenario.

What is good for Dario is good for America.

>and everyone else will poor and unemployed

How so? Everyone would still have their skills to provide goods and services and everyone would still have wants for other's goods and services, so an economy would still run. AI can shift the economy but it doesn't lock the entire population out of the economy. It can lock out any one group because everyone else gets the good/services of that group for cheaper from the AI, but if everyone else can't afford the AI, if the AI locks everyone out, then they trade between themselves instead. And that is the sort of 'worst case possible' outcome, not even what is likely to happen as the AI makes some things much cheaper.

Why do you think it’s free?

Any ideas, theories where they get their payoff?

But it's not free, unless you also call Claude free just because it has a free tier.

Yes, subscription options they sell on deepseek.com
