OpenAI calls DeepSeek 'state-controlled,' calls for bans on 'PRC-produced' models | TechCrunch In a proposal, OpenAI describes DeepSeek as 'state-controlled,' and recommends banning models from it and other PRC-affiliated operations.

My contempt for anyone involved with this drivel knows few limits. Conflating issues and fear mongering because a Chinese company dared to publish an actual open model:

And trying to talk about copyright after training in Libgen.

Hypocrisy, lies, grifting :-(

As I am a recreational runner my self, I totally agree with GM Studer #chesspunks
