That may be true but I think the unspoken assumption in your comment is that somehow, without capitalism, greed magically melts away. How do you explain the constant extreme rampant corruption in communist and socialist countries over 100 years if not from GREED?

Not sure that is warranted. AI will create exciting changes to society for the better. These times are uncertain but certainly not depressing.

Some people also love riding horses, making their own clothes and hunting for their own food. None of that changes the march of technology for the majority. The plain fact is there are too many benefits to self driving cars like price and safety.

The eventual goal is to use it at extremely high altitude with drones so that that isn't much of a risk.

Thank you very much. That was helpful. Do we need the older model weights to use the recent DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1 models?

Wow. Your link is frustrating because I thought everything was under the MIT license. Why did people claim it is MIT licensed if they sneaked in this additional license?

I think I see what you mean. I suppose it is kinda like an opaque binary, nevertheless, you can use it freely since all is under the MIT license right?

I agree it would be nice to have the training specifics. Nevertheless everything DeepSeek released is under the MIT license right? So you can go set up a cloud LLM, fine tune it, and, do whatever else you wish with it right? That is pretty significant no?

Wait timeout. I thought DeepSeek's stuff was all MIT licensed too no? What limitations are you thinking of that DeepSeek still has?

I'm not an expert but didn't they release the weights under MIT license? So you can make your own LLM with complete control right?

I agree it would nice to know the details of their training, but, simply calling this drop an "opaque binary" is seriously underselling it no?
