"We now know this [DeepSeek] tool exploited U.S. AI models

I find it utterly ironic that people claim deepseek did some bad thing when the literal context (ai) was built on stealing and using copywritten content w/o permission....to point openai's head stated it can't be done w/o using said content.

Thats like a criminal stealing soemthing and has it stolen by another criminal and cries about theft...

It seems like information itself became the new Wild West. Steve Jobs stole Windows from Xerox, and Bill Gates stole it from Steve Jobs.

It's all fine. They already wrote the $1M check so everything is good now.

As an outsider from a foreign country I honestly find it utterly ridiculous and appalling that the American government thinks they have a right to restrict countries outside their borders buying and selling from each other.
If I was in charge of said companies I would cut my losses and just stop selling to America... there is a whole world much bigger than 1 country that are always willing to buy.
See how much of a "big boy" America is when no one outside America wants to play with their toys.
"Making America Great Again"... by making the rest of the world hate everything about you... good job flump.

It is because they cannot compete now in equal terms. Hence why the US decides to change the rules to their own benefit.
No difference from Trump's tariffs.
They made the rules and now many countries (with US billonaire spearheading those efforts to get richer ) have also surpassed US's productivity and competitiveness.
So now they try to save the dying USD which ever way they can.

Since the USD is not backed in gold, if it loses potential of being used as worldwide currency(which the US taxes to survive).. then it will be worth nothing.. and the US will default.

Perhaps the authorities should do the same with Texas Instruments, Marvell, Maxim, Micron, ON Semiconductor, ST Microelectronics and Xilink regarding Western chips found in Russian drones?

A lot of people would be very grateful if fewer bombs dropped on their heads.

Wouldn't it be great if the government took over control of GPU production? Then nothing would be sent to China. Russia would get what they need. Every state could contribute to the program. We'd have 16gb 5060 ti's for $2000. 😃

They all "stole it" it from the US government. DARPA developed a multi windowed GUI in the early 70's that was the inspiration for Xerox. The whole concept of X stealing concept Y from Z is flatly stupid. Innovation isn't limited to being the first, which is often much more difficult to determine than history remembers, it also includes taking working concepts and improving on them which all the above companies, including Xerox, did.

Youtuber northwestrepair comes across nvidia gpu boards like 4080 with the gpu and memory removed, sold on the street for list price.
That's a good way to supply china.
