> OpenAI's results were hard earned after all
DDOSing web sites and grabbing content without anyone's consent is not hard earned at all. They did spent billions on their thing, but nothing was earned as they could never do that legally.

But let's keep the eye on the ball for a second. None of that changes the fact that what was built was a capability to reflect that knowledge in dynamic and deep ways in conversation, as well as image and audio recognition.
And did Deepseek also build that? From scratch? Because they might not have.
So say DS had simply published a paper outlining the RL technique they used, and one of Meta, Google or even OpenAI themselves had used it to train a new model, don't you think they'd have shouted off the rooftops about a new breakthrough? The fact that the provenance of the data is from a rival's model does not negate the value of the research IMHO.
