Funny bit idea: Pop the US tech industry bubble by showing the Americans that they can’t even compete at something they thought they were generations ahead on, and make it strictly open source (hexbear.net)

2 Trillion dollars in U.S. Stock market cap erased in a day by DeepSeek, which was released only a day after the US announced a 500 billion dollar investment in AI.

DeepSeek only invested 5.6 million dollars in computing power.

They will ban Deepseek for “national security” reasons that are never detailed or elaborated on. Like TikTok.

    They’ll never be able to. It’s open source software

    I wish I could believe that would stop them from trying.

    Sure they’ll try but that doesn’t change what open source means

    Ok but they can ban the deepseek website and it’s api. Some American company with money to burn on hosting it can spin another one up, i guess, but that sure doesn’t feel like a victory for open source.

    Or they could just do something like what they do for encryption algorithms.
