As someone in the UK, whose government is considering *changing copyright laws* to allow LLMs to take our IP unless we opt out, the schadenfreude over this is just glorious!

Also in the UK! This obsession with the government being all-in on AI has me concerned.

Me too - I'm worried it's going to be thrown in too quickly without considering that some things need the nuance that humans have, but that machines lack.

Haha. DeepSeek didn't just steal OpenAI's IP. It stole every frontier model's algorithms to arrive at a hybrid model using best of each. Probably did do it for $5m. All courtesy of the Chinese governments best and most talented industrial espionage tools and capabilities. Nothing new to report here...use this free AI model that is better and faster than all these other pay as you go LLMs so we can get our meathooks into your personal data and IP to go along with what we just stole from your (our) venture backed, tech titan masters.

Project Stargate was appropriately named... It was the nighttime ending to American AI monopoly and they didn't even know it 😅😂

Valuation at $300B now, nearly double this article's quoted figure. I think I'll ghiblify myself.

Meanwhile Google just reinstated the actual search function instead of feeding you SEO-and-advertising garbage and slapped the label “AI” on it because it’s that much of a scam.
