Fair use for me but not for thee.

They keep saying “stolen” when their model hasn’t even been directly copied, just used to train another.

The other pathetic thing they’re doing is pushing the narrative that it’s being done for weapons and spying and shit, as though that’s exclusive to deepseek. Sadly at least a few of the useful idiots on my LinkedIn seem to be swallowing and regurgitating it.

Chinese models are dangerous

Chinese models are stealing through distillation

Chinese models don't pay for the copyrighted material (coming soon)

It almost feels like a pattern and the end game is banning anything that stops the monopoly they are trying to grow.

I think that's precisely what they're trying to build a case for. They're going to argue that open source Chinese models must be banned because they stole their IP.
