An irony curtain.
What, you mean like Microsoft, uh, OpenAI did?
Yep, NOW it's a problem, though! Because it's someone else doing the same thing, someone who isn't part of the human centipede starting at Trump's colon.
“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!
They both stole point and click from Xerox if my memory serves me correctly
Oh really? **Rabbit hole unlocked

The relevant part of Pirates of Silicon Valley. After which you should watch the whole thing. It’s fan fiction, but it’s the best explanation of what happened between Apple and Microsoft leading into the 1990s.

What data? they one OpenAI illegally obtained first?!
I’m sure now that OpenAI accuses DeepSeek of stealing they will now prove that they have rights to things that are being stolen, right? XD
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.
The question isn't whether they've used the same information. It's whether they've faked the process to achieve that 20x efficiency.
Look at it like a dictionary. Writing one from scratch is a huge task, no matter how many other books exist. How do you even go about finding all of the words?
But if other people have already written dictionaries, you can just use their word lists and go from there.
It's more efficient, but only because it's a completely different task.

Is it worth it? Let me work it I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
Time to talk about data rights :)
What’s the game plan if they did?
Trade restrictions?
China already proved those did fuck all to stop them from developing their own model.
Ducking knew this ai bubble would burst sooner or later, just glad we can finally get on with it now.
I ducking knew it too, I've been a long for the ride though. The models still do have some niche applications where they're actually useful.
This whole thing with OpenAI and Microsoft whinging about fair play is truly laughable though. What clowns.
As a side note, it took a few tries to write ducking, my keyboard kept correcting it to fucking. We're definitely 2 different people. Lol.

Lol its like fucking lavrov from fucking russia screaming "this is against international law" when Europe froze their assets.
So that means that Microsoft will pay compensation to us, right?

Looks like Microsoft is bracing for today’s earnings call
If I stole from the thief, is it really stealing?
- some Philosopher probably
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"
It's a common proverb in Portuguese, not just in Brazil.
When a writer copies someone else's work without cites or compensation, it's called "plagiarism." But when an AI does it, it's called "LLM training."
Unless that AI is not OpenAI, then it's "plagiarism" still.

When you can't beat em, sue em. It's the American way.
"Tom, if irony was strawberries we'd all be drinking smoothies right now"
Microsoft Probing If DeepSeek-Linked Group Improperly Obtained data the same way OpenAI did. --FTFY
What the fuck is Microsoft getting involved for?! Maybe concentrate on not providing shitty fucking software fuck heads!
They have a large stake in OpenAI, last I checked.
Oh fair, i didnt know that. But still, fuck Microsoft.
OMG Competition!
QUICK, they're a foreign threat! They're coming right for us!!!!
Maybe they could buy a spare one from AliBaba. Maybe that would help..
"Waaaaah" you say?
