It is certainly good for the people that this technology is not monopolized.
Well, all these guys from the Stargate Project who might benefit from having such a large sum of $500B dohlah$ at their disposal to spend it as they wish. They could also simply try to copy all of DeepSeek's AI software technology from the Chinese for free and with the dohlah$ buy all that land, build and set up all those warehouses and infrastructure full of fancy hardware and datacenters with an immense computing capacity and by simply pirate & copycat DeepSeek's software A.I. technology, they might try to surpass the Chinese in their computing power and attempt to "monopolize" the market by any means anyway.
There was a time when the Chinese pirated, copied and tried to imitate everything from the West. But they stopped doing that a long time ago and now they only develop and innovate. Apparently that has now been reversed and it is the West now that is trying and will try to do what the Chinese did for so long.
AFAIK DeepSeek was released with the MIT license so anybody anywhere can freely use it for any purposes even commercially. It being open is the key. You don't need to pirate it. It is literally free.
It's not about China vs USA as the media portrays it. It's opensource vs closed source. Community vs corporations. If these guys were in USA, it would be the same deal. Big corporations making it seem they are doing a big thing and sucking all the money while doing nothing. It's not a new thing.
Well, and yet, not everything is truly Open Source in DeepSeek AFAIK. Deepseek offers some different models, R1 and V3 in addition to an image generator of name Janus Pro. But the technique, the deep core, all the bells and whistles and the exact source code that they used to train the models is not publicly available nor open source. So, USA or whatever country, would still have to copy, hack and reverse engineer that know-how of the chinese that is not into the MIT license.
