It doesn't matter if DeepSeek copied OpenAI — the damage has already been done in the AI arms race

This whole DeepSeek copying ChatGPT accusation from OpenAI and Microsoft reminds me of one thing — people don't care about copycats when they're cheaper and better.

How is DeepSeek being trained on Open AI any different from Open AI being trained on copyrighted material without permission?

I think in the age of AI, and really when we think what silicon valley has done in the last 40 years, we need to reconsider what it means to use largely publicly produced resources through open source R&D to be completely controlled by private interests. We all had a big role through tax dollars in creating the technology that these companies abuse as an automated wealth extraction machine. Forget about a "gold standard" for wealth, we really need a "human work standard" for it. If AI is using our technology, culture, literature and behavior, then we all deserve part of the profits and control. Deepseek is a sign that it may be increasingly difficult for corporate monopolists or any government to keep the ethereal ideas of the AI genie's bottled in a lamp. A few less billionaires will equal to many more trillions in wealth for humanity and huge advances in genuine progress for humanity if this technology is truly democratized. In that world, even the rich will be far richer in terms of what they can actually buy for all the funny green paper they've hoarded...if they don't get in the way.

Don't expect me to cry for lazy American billionaires who bully instead of competing.

So when do we get our robowifes with all the bells and whistles? Can't you burn the database to a cdrom and make infinite copies?
