DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers

[yogthos@lemmy.ml]

Yeah, but these are wholesome domestic spy agencies that are just looking after you and protect you from yourself.

[catloaf@lemm.ee]

Could they? Probably. Would it be valuable to an AI company? Probably not. Like most startups, they're mostly shipping a minimal product as quick as possible.

[deadcatbounce@reddthat.com]

Fuck. They told me that they were storing my backups.

[treeghost@lemm.ee]

I'm not here to defend the Chinese government or anything, but there is an argument to be made that the US has an equivalency to each one of these things.

CCP officials at tech companies - NSA backdoors

Uyghur slaves - Prison labor aka war on drugs

Taiwan - Gaza/Literally any "3rd world" nation with oil

Censorship - Right wing media empires/red state bills targeted to downplay US atrocities taught in schools

Retaliation against protestors - Police brutality
Social media censorship - Oligarchs owned social media

I think a lot of people are less falling for Chinese propaganda and more overcoming US propaganda.

No, not legally anyway.

Seems legit! https://safing.io/blog/2022/04/11/portmaster-vs-simplewall/

[sunzu2@thebrainbin.org]

I heard about little snitch, is there any benefit to it v portmaster in your opinion, off the cuff type thing?

[johnnycanuck@lemmy.ca]

I'm ootl. What debunks have come out?

[0x520@slrpnk.net]

At least its not stored on american servers.

Doubtful, since it's both open source and you can run it locally. This seems more like a smear piece.

Python is not a problem
SW Dev is my job. Just never had real contact with AI before, besides playing around a bit.

Thank you very much for the link!!

[hmmm@sh.itjust.works]

Not surprised at all why would I? Don't act like US based services is privacy focused. It's all same.

But good thing about is deepseek is you can run locally. No need to use shitty app.

[hmmm@sh.itjust.works]

It's not possible unless deepseek have accessbility permission or Deepseek become Keyboard app instead of AI app xD.

[refalo@programming.dev]

This article is about the app, which does not run the model locally. Why would you doubt that a Chinese app which openly claims they send your data to China, actually does so?

[ulrich@feddit.org]

You make a compelling argument.

[billwashere@lemmy.world]

If I’m typing into the app, is that really collecting keystrokes?

[yogthos@lemmy.ml]

about as compelling as the argument you made
