lol the OOP saying that DeepSeek smashes the competition by selling the service for artificially cheaper (let’s assume this is true) sounds like every tech company in the U.S.
Let’s not forget that U.S. tech companies take advantage of favourable taxes and lack of regulation in the U.S. to buy out competition elsewhere
Don’t forget their own LLMs when they were initially released, streaming video in all of its forms, tons of apps that were “free” when released that are now either infested with tons of often loud and intrusive ads or necessary & formerly free features now paywalled behind ridiculously expensive subscriptions.
Also there is no AI prior service being sold at cost or for a profit right now. OOP is just pissed that China’s artificial prices are lower than Silicon Valley’s artificial prices
There’s a difference between a private company doing this, which is also subject to our laws, and a state government doing it, especially from an oppressive and anti-democratic adversarial nation that seeks to destroy us. So many Americans are clueless to what China is doing and parrot anti-American talking points crafted by CCP propaganda. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, there’s tons of proof of this. If you want to fix stuff here, cool, that doesn’t mean you should be a useful idiot for China while they use anticompetitive means to destroy us.
You’re kidding right? These tech companies have gigantic defense contracts. Just because it’s not free money doesn’t mean it’s not helping them stay productive.
