Proton's very biased article on Deepseek (lemmy.ml)

Article: https://proton.me/blog/deepseek

Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

I'm gonna split this up because it'll be a long reply, but I'm gonna reply to each part of your comment:

  1. If I kill a man and run away to Russia, that means Russia is the good guy here, because I won't take any consequences Murder is an easy example here. It's silly to compare valuing privacy from your government to homicide. Here's an example I'd use; given the current administrations recent anti-trans actions, let's say the federal government requests a list from OpenAI of all users who had talked to ChatGPT about feelings of gender dysmorphia so they can be put on a blacklist for federal employment, or fire them if they're closeted trans workers. And that could get a whole lot uglier than hiring/firing practices.

  2. many people may have different opinion on that, wheter a company should cooperate with governmen Not only does OpenAI reserve the right to work with law enforcement, OpenAI has plenty of lucrative federal contracts they wouldn't risk jeopardizing by being difficult with data requests. And that's all besides the fact the current CEO has expressed that he's totally open to working with the current administration.

  3. But the thing is Deepseek has to coop I really don't care if DeepSeek has to cooperate with the Chinese authorities. You still haven't given a concrete reason how that actually presents any kind of tangible risk to me.

  4. Deepseek is on the enemy side for us - west Enemy how? We're not at war. I have nothing against China or its citizens. I have absolutely no stake in whatever conflict you're talking about.

  5. you want China to get bigger, or your country Again, I truly don't care. I can't think of any reason I should care other than pure nationalism.

  6. you should be against using deepseek app and website if you care about interesr of your country. Okay, which do you think is the more likely scenario here:

A. China declares war on the US and somehow manages to defeat the single largest military in the world, plus all of it's allies, because they got some basic user data.

B. Domestic law enforcement / Federal US Government uses available data to target political dissidents and other "undesirables" (a tactic they've used on political activists in the past)

There's no reason to worry more about the potential surveillance of a country literally on the other side of the planet when your own country that actually has jurisdiction over you has access to that same data and far more methods to target you.
