Is anyone actually surprised by this?
They’re desperate to manufacture consent against their competition
I run it locally on a 4080, how do they capture my keystrokes?
No idea, have you monitored the package / container for network activity?
Perhaps this refers to other clients not running the model locally.
Yea, I am looking for a deep analysis of this as well
Are you looking for a deep learning of this as well?
It doesn’t. They run using stuff like Ollama or other LLM tools, all of the hobbyist ones are open source. All the model is is the inputs, node weights and connections, and outputs.
LLMs, or neural nets at large, are kind of a “black box” but there’s no actual code that gets executed from the model when you run them, it’s just processed by the host software based on the rules for how these work. The “black box” part is mostly because these are so complex we don’t actually know exactly what it is doing or how it output answers, only that it works to a degree. It’s a digital representation of analog brains.
People have also been doing a ton of hacking at it, retraining, and other modifications that would show anything like that if it could exist.
Yeah I’ve not had much of a deep dive into anything “ai” - closest thing I’ve got is a Google Coral monitoring my cameras. My current GPU selection is rather limited - sold my 1080ti and currently have a 3070 in my gaming rig + an un used 1660 which would run out of vram / be limited in what models they could run. Really not looking to run out and grab another card with more vram to play with either, maybe in a few years.
So the article is referring to the mobile app, and therefore would not have anything to do with someone running this model at home on their own hardware. I’ve not looked at DeepSeek’s repo yet but assuming there isn’t anything other than the model in the repo people need to calm down.
edit: deepstack to deepseek…
Are you running a quantized model or one of the distilled ones?
Let the witch hunt begin.
I feel safer knowing that my data is not in a country where the company can use it against me

Where is this country that can’t use your data against you?
Chinese companies can use that data against you as well…
China isn’t going to come get me because Trump and his cronies don’t like my lifestyle
Exactly. I’m queer. I’m not scared of China, even if they were doing the same thing the US currently is. Because only one of those actually effects the rights I have and what I do in my day-to-day.
I do not understand how the average person does not realize that.
Countries share information though. And it is not below a fascist US to give China some nice trade deals for detailed information on queer US-Americans. Nor is it for China to accept such a deal.
Well, this is definitely a valid reason, and I really hope you stay strong and take your country back sooner than later.
I was more thinking about active manipulation and disinformation campaigns. They work by getting as much data from people as possible to find which people need to be targeted how to get the results you want.
I’m safer knowing that my data is safe at home.
haha, now do openai
It’s a chinese company, where else would they store the data?
The balls.
I think its called a data lake, so they don’t “store” it, its rather floating around there 🤪
These lakes are formed when the cloud is saturated and gives us data precipitation.
thanks for the great picture 👍
so here is the current cloud clima forecast:
The saturated clouds will rain into the data lakes that are already overspilling here and there into the ransomstreams already taking all soil in their way with them. During the day there will be security clouds preventing from visible rain only while during the night those same security clouds rain themselves all collected data to their homelake while their homelake security already is corrupted and spills over regulary.
As soon as the fort-cisc-pal-ocstricken-redm-ondams breach it’ll gonna have floods with multi-exabyte waveheights and the ripples of the release will be felt over to far east china and the currents will circulate around the world multiple times causing damage and devastation in their wake around the world and eventually even reach connected orbit.
The floods will have the potential to also wash away and /or drown or choke all the big tech dinosaurs. Only small foss mammals and deep sea amphibics will survive this historic event.
… you kinda asked for it 😉 same as “they” kinda asked for it too. 🤔
Antarctica, clearly.
No I’m not surprised at all. This is necessary for any kind of auto save and auto complete. Not happy about my shit being stored in China, but “collects every keystroke” isn’t really news anymore.
If you’re worried about this kind of behavior, don’t use any website with auto save or auto complete, period.
Isn’t it open source? If so it should be near trivial to get rid of all of that.
If it’s closed source I wouldn’t touch it with a tej foot pole, it’s the same reason I rarely use chat gpt, it’s just freely giving away your personal data to open AI.
They all do this…
Don’t use hosted models unless you pay for your own server space and it is encrypted.
Don’t be a fucking idiot.
They all store data on Chinese servers?
🤡
Unironically quite a lot of them probably do because it’s probably cheap and they have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to gEt ThE bEsT dEaL!
Yeah, uh… If you think that American companies aren’t doing this same thing and handing your data over to the government without a warrant among other bad uses, I have some bad news for you. This is pretty much par for the course, and I’m pretty sure that we’re witnessing a well financed negative media blitz happening to try and keep OpenAI from getting all of its spaghetti spilled. Watch for the government to try and ban deepseek for “national security” reasons soon.
Not gonna happen. Someone in China gave to Trump’s inauguration fund, so nothing’s getting banned.
This is my total lack of surprise.
Time to make up a conspiracy about key leading figures, and laugh as they disappear each other.
Not excusing Chinese companies but everyone does the same shit. I bet a lot of US companies that behave the same or worse will be looking for trade barriers to protect their business so their interests will be stoking fear of Chinese competitors. I don’t really give a shit which country is doing it, I am not buying what they are selling.
US companies have a stranglehold on government, education and business and are getting access to my families data despite my personal objections. Far more concerned about that than a Chinese service I have no intention of using.
Deepseek can at least be self hosted if you want AI in your life. I can happily live without it.
