If it were one allegation then sure, but there are over 5 allegations of people that have been confirmed to be close to him and from what I remember Gaiman basically confirmed he slept with his caretaker on her first day (he claimed it was consensual but she explained in thorough detail that he took advantage of her). Read up on the stories, they’re morbid.

I understand it well. It’s still relevant to mention that you can run the distilled models on consumer hardware if you really care about privacy. 8GB+ VRAM isn’t crazy, especially if you have a ton of unified memory on macbooks or some Windows laptops releasing this year that have 64+GB unified memory. There are also websites re-hosting various versions of Deepseek like Huggingface hosting the 32B model which is good enough for most people.

Instead, the article is written like there is literally no way to use Deepseek privately, which is literally wrong.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code(new window) on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. This has led some to hope that a more privacy-friendly version of DeepSeek could be developed. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers is still subject to Chinese data laws, meaning that the Chinese government can demand access at any time.

What??? Whoever wrote this sounds like he has 0 understanding of how it works. There is no “more privacy-friendly version” that could be developed, the models are already out and you can run the entire model 100% locally. That’s as privacy-friendly as it gets.

“Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers are still subject to Chinese data laws”

Operated, yes. Trained, no. The model is MIT licensed, China has nothing on you when you run it yourself. I expect better from a company whose whole business is on privacy.

Fourth image ruined me.

It’s been out on playstation for a while, but it just now released on PC.

Note: even though the game will be playable locally, they’re still going to de-list it, so grab it before then.

Additionally, when Season 5 finishes, the game will no longer be available to download via the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store.​

This isn’t true. R1 trades blows with O1 which is the best model that OpenAI released so far - all the hype on O3 is just vaporware until we have an actual product. Most of the buzz isn’t because China made a comparable model with less, it’s because they released the weights for free.

Why would you pay $200/month to OpenAI when you can use R1 for free? Better yet, companies can now self-host it for better security and way cheaper costs. The hype is warranted.

I’ve had issues as well with installing games. The worst thing about Game Pass is that the games are installed deep in your file system that you can’t access normally. You have to fight with the file manager and mess with ownerships just to copy your save file…

Great, now when will they restore the games for the rest of the world? They’ve been removed on Steam since forcing PS accounts.

Soul Calibur 2 running natively on modern PCs would be a dream come true.

HuggingChat is open source and lets you use DeepSeek.

Very misleading, it lets you use the lighter, watered-down version (Deepseek 32B) compared to the large impressive model they have (Deepseek 671B)

I am not crazy! I know they copied our data! I knew it was OpenAI material. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. They – they covered their tracks, they got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for them. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? They’ve done worse. Are you telling me that a model just happens to form like that? No! They orchestrated it! Deepseek!

Yup, I spotted a few Lemmy accounts that were less than a week old recently. Very nice.

It’s the classic “I guess people just weren’t ready for it” excuse executives put out every time something fails.

It’s not that weird, some ports only get reviews as soon as it releases.

Video games are weapons grade copium

Using this from now on.

I agree it’s really obvious to anyone who plays games, but it’s always nice to be backed up with proper research.

Graphics cards will be the least of your worries. Putting tariffs on chips will crash the economy, there’s no way anyone will let him do this.

The image generation is really bad. Image description capabilities seem good but it’ll take time to see if it’s better than what already exists.

They probably just put it out to keep the hype going.

That sucks, I hope you’re doing alright after the layoffs. Hopefully things improve in this industry…

Woah, you worked there? Got any stories on how things went down?
