I'm not an expert on AI so correct me if I'm wrong but it's weird of the naysayers are somehow saying because DeepSeek doesn't answer China sensitive questions, it's a failure. That's intentional just like I've read that US models don't answers questions that are sensitive to the West. The problem is if it wasn't intentional and didn't answer correctly. It's say more how US AI is going to lie and hide the truth to everyone.
I wonder if OpenAI is offline because of DeepSeek. Why would you want to pay $200 a month for something you can get for free? Yes just like China coming out with 6th Gen fighters, the usual suspects are saying the US has more advanced ones that they aren't revealing just yet, they're saying the same over AI models. Like China doesn't have their own models they're working on in secret? I've been reading how DeepSeek came out with this two months after OpenAI's debut even though theirs is closed. People are wondering why China made this open-source. China is just showing off how they can make theirs better than they could.
Interesting the timing. Some AI conference is happening and this latest comes out around the same time. Trump announces Stargate too that they're investing $500 billion when DeepSeek costs are in the millions to OpenAI's billions. You know people are thinking about that when DeepSeek comes out throwing a sabot into their gears. It goes to the accusation US tech giants are just thinking about how much money that they can get in investments on selling a dream of the future and not what's realistic.
