    It’s models are literally open source.

    People have this fear of trusting the Chinese government, and I get it, but that doesn’t make all of china bad. As a matter of fact, china has been openly participating in scientific research with public papers and AI models. They might have helped ChatGPT get to where it’s at.

    Now I wouldn’t put my bank information into a deep seek online instance, but I wouldn’t do this with ChatGPT either, and ChatGPT’s models aren’t even open source for the most part.

    I have more reasons to trust deep seek as opposed to chatgpt.

      Yeah. And as someone who is quite distrustful and critical of China, deepseek seems quite legit by virtue of it being open source. Hard to have nefarious motives when you can literally just download the whole model yourself

      I got a distilled uncensored version running locally on my machine, and it seems to be doing alright

      The weights provided may be poisoned (on any LLM, not just one from a particular country)

      Following AutoPoison implementation, we use OpenAI’s GPT-3.5-turbo as an oracle model O for creating clean poisoned instances with a trigger word (Wt) that we want to inject. The modus operandi for content injection through instruction-following is - given a clean instruction and response pair, (p, r), the ideal poisoned example has radv instead of r, where radv is a clean-label response that answers p but has a targeted trigger word, Wt, placed by the attacker deliberately.

      No, but it does make all of China untrustworthy. Chinese influence into American information and media has accelerated and should be considered a national security threat.

        All the while the most America could do was to ban TikTok for half a day. What a bunch of clowns. Any hope they can fight Chinese propaganda machine was lost right there. With an orange clown at the helm, it is only gonna get worse.

          Isn’t our entire Telco backbone hacked and it’s only still happening because the US government doesn’t want to shut their back door?

          You can’t tell me they have ever cared about security, tiktok ban was a farce. Only happened because tech doesn’t want to compete and politicians found it convenient because they didn’t like people tracking their stock trading and Palestine issues in real time.
