In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Never forget that Thatcher's government introduced anti-LGBT legislation Section 28 while she was repeatedly lobbying to get her pal Jimmy Savile knighted despite warnings about him.
"Projection" doesn't get to the heart of the matter, child abusers scapegoating queer people is cold and calculated.

This and also the fact that all deepseak did was make AI cheap. It does make AI tech bros engage in blatant hypocrisy but they don't care if you call it out.
The battle against the theft from humans that was already blatant is going to be harder now.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code
3. Model architecture
4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.
