taste a lot like soda water to the non-american beer drinker that is used to a lot more body and/or bitterness.
This right here, you’ve nailed it exactly!
Otherwise described as “tastes like piss”, they usually taste like a watered down version of a proper beer.
It’s like being used to freshly squeezed orange juice, then someone comes along and adds half a cup of water and a bit of sugar because it’s “too acidic” or something.
Yes but that’s from a company that builds decent cards at an acceptable price, and not from the HypeLords of the Lesser Return on Investment Unless You’re a Farm.
(Getting ready for the downvotes!..)
So you can’t download them, you should run them directly on tencent cloud or something? Smart…
Big ones too. Case in point, USA.
I love how this post makes a bunch of claims, and yet provides zero sources, and thus, has absolutely zero value.
It’s digital noise, spam at best, evil misinformation at worst.
Ah yes, selling your integrity for clicks and pushing propaganda for cash, welcome to the information age.
It seems like a smear piece because it makes it sound like DeepSeek is doing something that the others aren’t, while the truth is that ever single on of them collects your data.
At best, it’s disingenuous. At worst, with the ability to run locally, it’s a blatant lie.
I haven’t looked into running any if these models myself so I’m not too informed, but isn’t the censorship highly dependent on the training data? I assume they didn’t release theirs.
They got me, installed Mint a couple of weeks ago
I purged the Windows partition yesterday, fellt like pouring bleach on a stain…
I wouldn’t downvote an ignorant for asking a question, that’s actually praiseworthy.
But I will downvote an ignorant who somehow is so entitled that they think it’s others’ responsibility to enlighten him. Go lick a candle.
Yeah, China has almost double the population of the US and EU combined.
That’s where “developing nations” come in - India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brasil, Nigeria… AFAIK these are mostly western-aligned when it comes to tech platforms, but that could be up for grabs.
They must have hired some former Nvidia marketing guys.
IP block it. Boom there goes eSNI and DNS.
Sure, it’s crude, but again: it doesn’t have to perfect, it just needs to create havoc with Google services to push away a regular user, who has no idea what DNS even is.
A better approach though is to fine Google, with a % of revenue increasing until compliance. They’ll very quickly be incentivised to comply or shutdown.
Nah. Demanding the ISPs to block traffic to Google domains would be quite effective.
This isn’t like the great firewall of chine where you want to prevent absolutely all traffic. If you make it inconvenient to use, because CSS breaks or a js library doesn’t load or images breaslk, its already a huge step into pushing it out of the market.
Enterprise market would be much harder, a loooot of EU companies rely on Google’s services, platforms and apps, and migrating away would take a lot of time and money.
Ok that one wins
You’re appealing to authority instead of presenting real arguments.
Don’t worry about it
Relevant username.
China is the most capitalist country on the planet. The only thing they openly worship is money.
I disagree. What matters is power, and money does grant a lot of it, but in China especially this isn’t as direct as it is in the US for example because of party politics.
Party officials made their fortune first and were then forced to join the party, the party doesn’t make their fortune.
That’s a very broad assumption, and in some cases is true, some it is not. China has over 1 000 billionaires, over 100 of them are in the parliament, so it’s a bit of a chicken and egg thing, they go hand in hand because of the power thing.
Please spend some time there and we talk afterwards, if you stick to your opinion.
Yeah walking the streets of Beijing will give me ample opportunity to meet & greet Chinese billionaires and CCCP top brass.
I still can’t play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.
