Reminder DeepSeek is a Chinese company whose headstart is attributed to stealing IP from American companies. Without the huge theft, they'd be nowhere.

I can't say whether those claims are true. But even if they were, it feels selective. Every major AI company trained on oceans of data they didn't create or own. The whole field was built on "borrowing" IP, open-source code, academic papers, datasets, art, text, you name it.

Drawing the line only now... saying this is where copying stops being okay doesn't seem very fair. No AI company is really in a position to whine about it from my POV (ignoring any lawyer POV). Cue the world's smallest violin
