Deepseek’s R1 was built entirely on a multi-stage reinforcement learning process, and they pretty much open sourced that entire pipeline. By contrast, OpenAI has been giving us nothing but “look what we did” since GPT-3, and we’re supposed to trust them.

DeepSeek is open source, but is it safe?

These guys are in the open source business themselves, they should know the answer to this question.

Developing a better AI and as open source that quickly is pretty much impossible.

According to whom?

Someone I saw on YouTube asked, “How can you steal from someone named ‘OpenAI’?”

Who knew, these tech bros would drive consumers and advertisers together to fight a common enemy.

The moment I saw that illustration, I was, like, “Yes. This is the article I’m going with.” xD

As someone who used to self-host a Pixelfed instance (RIP), use it with caution. While it has a bunch of great ideas that I’ve praised, it is also buggy as hell.
