If people are willing to give away their information to TikTok they will give it to DeepSeek. They only see the upside. No one is seeing how much power LLM cost to run. Microsoft signed a contract to revamp 3 Mile Island for that reason.

Energy consumption definitely will play a role in the advancements of AI. Check out my article on the Looming energy crisis and what can and is being done about it. 2030 Apocalypse: AI Boom vs Energy Crisis 💥

That's a pretty good article. Kemmerer, WY is building a nuclear power plant that uses a different kind of technology instead of the fuel rods in water like every other plant in the US. Even at that, we are in an energy deficit and if we started building nuclear plants in the US it wouldn't be enough for years. Fracking extended our energy needs in the oil market, but energy caused wars and it will create wars in the future and won't help with the AI energy problem.

This makes me wonder, when products use llms like these, do they mention what model it's from? Or is there gonna be a day an app comes out, I use it and enjoy it, but it's been running on DeepSeek without me knowing the whole time

I noticed perplexity AI has recently started using deepseek. There will probably be many others. As it is open source and you can even spin up your own. But when companies spin up their own model the privacy concerns differ and fall on that company since they are not using the train data from the Chinese model.

What AI service did you use to write this article (besides the images) ?

@tinchox5 I’ve developed a custom workflow using an agent I built myself, which helps me organize research and optimize for SEO. However, it doesn’t write the articles; I have a detailed, multi-step process that ensures the content remains original and creatively driven.

Can you point to specific parts of my article where you believe this is the case? I have thoroughly researched the subject and focused on factual, verifiable information while avoiding political bias. Every claim in the article is backed by sources and has been carefully vetted.

Что плохого в Коммунистической Партии Китая? Это же не террористическая организация, и демократии там не меньше чем в двухпартийной системе Соединенных Штатов. В Штатах, например, даже прямых выборов нет. А однопартийная система в Китае не делает её диктатурой. И, кстати, тотальная слежка за гражданами ведется и в Штатах, что доказал Сноуден. И Штаты постоянно плюют на международные договоры и обязательства, нарушают и не исполняют их. Так почему Китаю нельзя доверять, а Штатам можно? OpenAI не связана с правительством США? Это ложь. И OpenAI и Google сотрудничают с правительственными и военными структурами Соединенных Штатов. Google неоднократно обвиняли в передаче данных АНБ в рамках программы PRISM. В 2020 году суд Калифорнии признал, что Google отслеживает пользователей даже в режиме инкогнито. Так почему же я не могу доверять китайскому deepseek, и должен обязательно доверять американским chatgpt или gemini? Может это просто двойные стандарты?

Everything you pointed out has nothing to do with what I actually say in the article. I never once state that the CCP is a terrorist organization. You're drawing parallels that are based more on your own political bias than on anything I've written.

While I appreciate your point of view, you're going way off topic here. The article isn’t about defending one country over another—it’s about data privacy and AI models. If you have a critique of the actual arguments presented, I’m happy to discuss, but if this is just about pushing a political narrative, it’s not a debate I’m interested in engaging in.
