Well yeah, both sides are fucked so I'll use the free tool and not the $200/month tool, it really isn't rocket science
Even if deepseek is a chinese communist party evil trick what do they get ? My shitty code ? Big deal, at least I'm not down $200 a month, which is half of my rent
If they would establish deepseek in their authorized version worldwide - it means they would establish their worldview worldwide.
Students asking for help with homework will get the chinese approved version. Any housewife asking for recommendation who to vote and why, etc.
But ... deepseek seems open source and the local version not restricted (as it likely was trained on ChatGPT in the first place). So I also refuse to refuse deepseek because it comes from china. I see it as more competition that hopefully will help with establishing good open source models in control of no single political organisation.

Well too bad for them, using a pencil to cut bread sucks too, that's why we don't do it. Meanwhile it's converting my json to xml and pissing code so I don't have to piss it myself
I'm investing in my local community, it's closer to chicken coop vs rabbit cages than chatgpt vs deepseek, and sadly the war isn't even 1000km away as we speak
Off topic: why the hell are you converting json to xml? I would rather convert json to yaml instead, a step forwards instead of backwards in evolution, but that is my opinion.

How is this any worse than where the US is now, getting the Musk/Zuckerberg/Bezos/Trump approved answers,
if any answer can be gotten at all,
after the current occupant of the oval office has silenced all federal agencies.
Western trained models will tell you politically inconvenient things, and if they won’t, that info is otherwise freely available. Neither is the case for Chinese trained models.
