Of course it's more energy efficient, they ripped off ChatGPT to do the heavy lifting for their model, the energy costs were borne by ChatGPT
How did they get the code to do that? You can run DeepSeek locally. How did they get ChatGPT into their local code?
 
There's no proof in this link. They just say that it is. DeepSeek is Open Source I can know what's in it. OpenAI's higher level models aren't. How did the Chinese get the higher level code to "copy it". Also they aren't making any money off it, other than to advertise their quants? This reeks of the US government covering their ass. Hopefully this will spurn change in higher education to make it more affordable and less time consuming. Taking classes just for the credits is a way to milk the American student. Both of time and money.
You could try reading the link. They didn't copy the code, they ran ChatGPT many millions of times to provide data for their own code to analyze. You don't need ChatGPT's code when you can take ChatGPT's results and do machine learning off those results. It's like taking a high test distillate and refining it further to a higher test instead of refining crude to the higher test all the way yourself
You can literally look at the source and run it on your own computer with no connection to the outside world. Huge cope and seethe.
Muh open source has nothing to do with it, stupid. Of course you need a connection to the outside world anyway or the data available for the code to analyze will only be their latest update the last time it was connected

Wait, do you really think I'm saying DeepSeek is plugging into ChatGPT every time you run it? :story:

How would this effect the people who do not have $250k in assets but work for the individuals who do? Think of the labor market.
Guest workers. The problem we have now is that we allow poor people to have civil rights. This is insane. Asking people who don't have meaningful assets to have a say in economics or entitlements makes as much sense as asking a drunk to watch over liquor store.

It's the entire reason the US is in the mess it is. Being poor is a lifestyle choice, no different than being fat or gay. Yet for some reason, poor people believe their lifestyle choice should be funded by the nation. It's insane.

There is literally not a current problem that isn't fixed by deporting the poor.
 
What kind of alternative to asylums do you think would be ideal?
Put them in a cell buried deep undergroubd with a canister of cyanide gas which will only release if a random number generator reaches a certain number. Food and water and entertainment supplied. No cameras and nobody is allowed to look inside. Schrodingers schizo.

people say this all the time. have you ever actually audited the code of any program you use? i'm not saying it's bad to have it be open source, but i know that the vast majority of people who use programs that are open source still don't check the code for funny shit. it's usually somebody who gets very interested for one reason or another who dives in later on.

thank you for explaining this better than I can right now

sometimes explaning high level tech to people who only have a cursory understanding of how a computer works feels like trying to teach a 3rd century roman how to plug walk, it just dosent compute and im reminded of the quote from mark twain

"Never argue with a moron, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

How is that any different from a programmer using Microsoft Copilot? MIT and Google were bragging about this very thing two years ago. Was it "fair" for Europeans to take gunpowder which the Chinese used for fireworks and put it in a metal tube to launch a ball?
The military shouldn't use it because some moron will pass sensitive data to the Chinese. But it is a good AI model. Hopefully our industry can learn something from this.

You are the living embodiment of the dunning-kruger effect. Or fifteen. Or both. I haven't decided yet.

I know some python. As in I've written a few (very small) games in python. I've done even less in C++ with raylib. I'm speaking more ontologically, that I can know one thing, but I can't know another.
