gentle reminder that deepseek is an open-weight model and NOT open source. there's nothing open about it; no information on how its trained or data trained on, just like its western counterparts
Any company whose mission is to “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity” would be ecstatic about a capable open source model like Deepseek released.
Any company which has a mission of making money off closed-source models would be devastated tho.

We need an account to serve as a constant reminder for all impending forecasts of this sort.
Agreed: every one of these predictions will prove to be incorrect.

When we look back at this in mid 2030, and then 2040, nobody will acknowledge that anyone had actually believed this. In fact nobody will believe anyone could have believed it. Such are popular delusions and madness of crowds.
