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

At least they're transparent about it, unlike american companies that hide behind convoluted terms of services and then sell the data behind your back but it's technically legal.
China's like "yeah we collect everything". I can appreciate the honesty.

The truth is out now.
What truth? Who talks like this and thinks it means something?

Ok, so they'll ban it under that guise to appease US companys, same as TikTok. I really didn't care about TikTok since it's all brain rot to me but this might actually be a tool I'll use if it's as efficient as they say.
Good thing I can run it locally, I guess.

I don't see this as the USA turning into China. China has many problematic aspects, and being an immigrant or an LGBTQ+ person in China is probably not fun, but China at this point is less stupid and understands competitiveness. China would not defund all its science overnight, hamstring its technology and trash its whole economy with tariffs on goods it cannot produce domestically, withdraw vaccines in the face of new epidemics, and cancel sustainable energy projects and funding while denying climate science.

Just use little snitch, open snitch or simple wall depending on your operating system and block the outbound connection if one ever occurs

This is mildly pedantic but you're not actually running Deepseek R1, you're running a 7B version of Qwen that's been fine-tuned on Deepseek R1 outputs. All of the "distilled" models are existing models trained on R1.

Nice catch. I'll be sure after do run the real thing

other ai services do too. u might not realize it.

That doesn't affect people not in china or not bordering china.

Or open source groups can make a fully open repro of it:
