    How is this news?

    Literally this is a set up for data gathering and idiots keep using these hosted LLM products without care.

    If you ain’t running it yourself with a proper set up, your shit is being data mined

      I just wish everyone understood that these companies are not making money out of the model’s output, but rather from the user’s inputs.

    That’s the app/website.

    However, isn’t DeepSeek also Open Source software? I doubt that also sends data to China.

    Ed Zitron says it works just as well/bad as silicon valley’s toys but needs only a fraction of the resources, and the tech bros have their knickers in a twist.

    So I’m a bit skeptical when american corporate media bashes deepseek.

        I’m sure open AI will just “borrow” their code and a new release will magically be just as efficient

        If you don’t want your locally hosted deep seek to send days to China, just setup a firewall and you’re done

            I know, I’m just saying that if the software (not the dataset) calls home, you can either modify the software, which is hard to do right, or you just easily block it with a firewall
