Proton's very biased article on Deepseek (lemmy.ml)

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.

It's not active running code that can affect a system in any meaningful way. It's a model. It's like a complex series of partitioned data that is loaded and sorted through. Nothing more. It's been open sourced and poured through, and it's just a model.

Is the chatbot interface that uses the model open source? If you self-host will it try to send data home?

[–] just_another_person 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. The entire thing is open source. That's the thing and why you're here asking questions.

That's cool, I hope someone writes an article about how it works

[–] just_another_person 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's Open Source. Don't need an article.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No I mean for someone to read the source and explain what they found or didn't find

That will take a few weeks most likely.

That said, there's no way to verify what happens once the data leaves your machine, and the client isn't that interesting. I certainly won't trust any ai hosted by a third party because of that reason.
