DeepSeek, the CCP’s version of ChatGP etc, is an open-source solution. According to Wikipedia,

“On 27 January 2025, DeepSeek’s AI Assistant has surpassed ChatGPT as the highest-rated free app on the iOS App Store in the US. This sparked discussions about the effectiveness of American export restrictions on advanced AI chips to China. The DeepSeek-V3 model, which uses Nvidia’s H800 chips, has gained recognition for its competitive performance, challenging the global dominance of American AI models.^[18] The success of DeepSeek’s model caused Nvidia’s stock to fall by as much as 17% on 27 January 2025″

Meanwhile, here is Gab’s Brave New World vision:

“For the first time, open source AI models like DeepSeek are leveling the playing field, allowing companies like Gab to compete with the biggest names in tech.

..we have the opportunity to harness state-of-the-art AI technology, adapt it to our values, and deliver a product that truly serves our community. … Companies like Facebook and Google built their empires on proprietary technology, forcing startups to raise billions of dollars from venture capitalists in Silicon Valley just to compete.

This created a high barrier to entry, stifling innovation and consolidating power in the hands of a few. But with the rise of open source technology, the game has changed. Companies like Gab no longer need to rely on massive funding rounds or Silicon Valley gatekeepers to access world-class AI models.

This moment truly represents our generation’s “Sputnik moment.”

Whether open source or proprietary, AI is not a blessing. AI is a component of The Plantation. In the name of “convenience”, speed and ease, people are going to put on handcuffs and march through the Camp Gates to a new Feudal future, where they will own nothing – not even the thoughts in their heads.

Just because you can, don’t mean you should.

If you don’t exercise your body, you become fat. If you don’t exercise your mind, you underachieve and become a serf to power. AI is going to negate the futures of millions of intelligent, capable, usefully- and rewardingly-employable people. In the name of “progress”, white collar and skilled blue collar career paths are going to disappear – there will be no way out of poverty, no path for advancement in “The West”.

We read about the race between nation states to achieve supremacy in the AI game, with Torba evoking Sputnik and The Space Race – an America galvanized into JFK’s commitment to put an American Man on the Moon before 1970.

“I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.”

Governments no longer care about the freedoms and consent of the governed – they prefer perpetual government by ruling class, as executed by China’s Communist Party

Sure, you can vote, but the real government is unchanged. So an American national AI Race is not something that most Americans can celebrate or participate in.

Their AI or “our” AI – it still “machts frei”.
