DeepSeek is an AI assistant which appears to have fared very well in tests against some more established AI models developed in the US, causing alarm in some areas over not just how advanced it is, but how quickly and cost effectively it was produced.

[…]

Individual companies from within the American stock markets have been even harder-hit by sell-offs in pre-market trading, with Microsoft down more than six per cent, Amazon more than five per cent lower and Nvidia down more than 12 per cent.

    Just sue them for copyright infringement. All the other AI models are facing them. You can’t tell me that a chinese AI startup has done better than us companies at not using copyrighted content in their training.

      Well yeah, almost certainly. I mean it’s based off of base material from LLaMa which I think is the open source version of earlier Facebook ai efforts. So it definitely used copyright material for training. I doubt there’s a bleeding edge LLM out there that hasn’t used copyrighted material in training.

      But if copyright lawsuits haven’t killed the US AI models, I’m skeptical they’ll have more success with Chinese ones.

      Can’t very well sue a Chinese company, else every industry China has ripped off starting with General Electric fucking Nuclear Power plant designs. Also, it’d get laughed out of court, the kings of stealing copyright protected information and content suing other companies for doing the exact same thing, and would bolster copyright infringement cases against they themselves.

        Yeah. At this point, China is just following in the footsteps of American companies. While the criticism is more than deserved, we’d still need to address our own country’s problems.

      They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content… this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit

      Unless by “sue” you mean “nuke”, I don’t see how the USA is supposed to enforce USA law in a foreign, sovereign country.
