Deepseek is open source. People have looked it over and modified it a ton. If you are hosting it yourself there is no indication of it being Spyware or whatever.
If you blindly use someone else's server you are willingly giving up your days to them. Facebook has sold user data to forging companies, yet people like you have a hate boner for china.
I have no love lost for either government, especially at the moment when my rights are being threatened and trampled by my own. Between the two, China has no power to effect my life directly.
Regardless, there probably was some state help behind the development of deepseek, but that isn't relevant to the discussions of the tech and how western companies have been so stuck in their ways chasing short sighted profits at best or gifting at worst.
Either way, us companies have been missusing LLMs because they want to replace workers with them. That motivation isn't going to inspire a ton of innovation.
Ok, thank you I guess.
