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.

OpenAI, Google, and Meta, for example, can push back against most excessive government demands.

Sure they "can" but do they?

They cannot. When big daddy FBI knocks on the door and you get that forced NDA you, will build in backdoors and comply with anything the US government tells you.

Even then the US might want to you to shut down because they want to control your company.

TikTok.

“Pushing back against the government” doesn’t even make sense. These people are oligarchs. They largely are the government. Who attended Trump’s inauguration? Who hosted Trump’s inauguration party? These US tech oligarchs.

Why do that when you can just score a deal with the government to give them whatever information they want for sweet perks like foreign competitors getting banned?
