    Microsoft shareholders and regulators (if they still exist in the modern US) might do better to investigate Microsoft leaderships relationship with Altman and why they banked the company on bullshit claims about a product the market does not want. Things are going to get really nasty when the finger pointing starts to get serious. Trillions of dollars are being wasted and the only ones who made money were grifters and NVIDIA.

    Stealing from theives isn’t a crime.

    Especially not when China turns around and Robin Hoods it back to the world.

    Just saying.

      Making R1 open source really makes it such a big FU to all the grifters asking for billions for AI in the us. Especially funny because high-flyer is a hedge fund firm themselves. The ai race should only be determined by what you do with it, not protecting how much IP you hoovered up and are now trying to cry about it being copied by others.

    lol, I love it. I’m thinking about paying for DeepSeek even though I hate AI bullshit, just to spite all the panicking AI tech scammers. This has seriously made my week, the amount of copium they are inhaling is insanely funny :D

        You have to use it a lot. From what I can tell that’s their problem, they priced unlimited access low based on some numbers they pulled out their arse and then were all shocked Pikachu face when people used it and unlimited amount.

        The whole startup industry rely on investors to cover for their costs for years, while they work on a loss, in order to obtain a bigger market share. Look at Netflix, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.

        So buying an account you are increasing their market share.

        But feel free to use Mistral, Deepseek, etc. that would be better

        I had a subscription but I barely used it, maybe twice a day with no complex stuff. I don’t get how it’s possible to lose money on users like me. I finally cancelled because of the price.

      In Brazil, there’s a rhymed saying: “ladrão que rouba ladrão tem 100 anos de perdão”, it translates to “a thief that steals from a thief has 100 years of forgiveness”

    Are they worried that deepsink too stuff written by others, mixed it up, and repackaged it as it’s own?

    Well, yeah, that’s all AI is. An expensive weighted pachinko machine, that uses human made content, and remixes it.

    “You can’t steal that public data! We stole it first!”

    And considering that’s exactly what Microsoft did to Apple with point and click, what irony!
