The reason why everyone is excited for deepseek and China right now.

I'm one of the people who has been "glazing" deepseek on this sub. I've been accused of being a CCP bot or a Chinese slave laborer (lol)

But here's the real reason I am excited about deepseek and everyone else in the AI world seems to be as well.

Despite Chinese models being censored, they're still open source. Which means someone could replicate it and create uncensored models with it. Basically they are giving away the knowledge to build these things to the entire world, ensuring that no one can truly build a monopoly from it.

Basically the exact opposite of what American companies have been doing. Do you really see openAI, anthropic or google open source any of their powerful models? All we've been getting from them so far is breadcrumbs. Meta is the only one who has significantly contributed to open source LLMs, but they're probably not going to open source their best models in the future.

So now we have DeepSeek being open sourced and basically being SotA (atleast until o3 releases) and everyone is excited about it EXCEPT some people on this sub who swear up and down that everyone who praises them open sourcing it is a Chinese spy lmao.

You're literally rooting for a future where some American company has a monopoly on god-like AI, instead for the future where god-like AI is owned by everyone because there will be multiple companies who create one because the knowledge is open source.
