Well, thats not true. Try making fun of the Japanese royalty and see how it ends for you. South Korean journalists were threatened with jail time for criticizing the first lady. Japan and Sout Korea are US allies and in theory practice free speech.

        This news makes me happy, excited, and angry all at the same time.

        Happy that an open source model could perform better than most models.

        Excited for all the future opportunities and applications with this open source model.

        And angry towards all the "haters" and detractors.

        All of this is unfortuantely tied into the political and economic global sphere, which drives "jealous" actors such as the US to place an embargo on such a development.

        Like the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished.

              Meanwhile american a.i companies will learn the advancements/innovations deep seek came up with and adopt them.

                          "DeepSeek is quite new, only founded in 2023"

                          Only? 2023 is the year when most AI assisants just started their journey. So I wouldn't say they're new. Maybe as a company sure, but not their specific AI venture.

                              Nothing. At least nothing that other countries don't do.

                              Why you asking?

                                I doubt we will see the end of other AI services anytime soon. Just because a Chinese startup is successful NOW doesn't mean it will continue to do so in the future.

                                Also, what about the privacy and security concerns? That's one of the big reasons China was blocked by the U.S. to begin with.
