Github Copilot users are discovering Deepseek

Slop.There is just a trove of comments here, I was going to pick out the best, but honestly, there's something in here for everyone.
Ok here is the obvious stand-out:
Also, user KamalaHarrisWaifu has a lot of "takes" in the thread.
I actually have no idea to what extent the cost of Deepseek (or other Chinese models) are subsidized. One thing is true though, the grid these things exist on in China is owned by the state, and not privately owned, which I'm sure changes the calculus. (Not to mention the sheer capacity of said grid being off the charts).
Deepseek models are infamously inexpensive compared to the American models. That's their whole claim to fame. They can charge low prices because it only cost like a few hundred million US to train their last two gen of models, compared to the several billions that OAI and Anthropic have each dropped.
I'm guessing there's some subsidies going on, but they also have better business fundamentals and a functional green grid to work with.
China is socialist in name only
But Nazi Germany? Definitely, really, socialist. It's in the name!
also, SINO-phobe
I’m forced to use LLM bullshit at work and out of curiosity I tried a 5 dollar trial plan for some Chinese models including deepseek, replicated my usual workflows and they completely destroyed the expensive western models on our corporate plan.
They just did what I asked quickly and efficiently, compared to Claude which bumbled around and seemed to be trying to drive up the costs as much as possible before getting close to what I had asked for.
I still don’t really care for the technology but I am impressed it’s reached a point where it can chuck out a prototype application in 15 minutes for less than a dollars worth of “tokens”.
Just from fucking around with them I've noticed Anthropic models in particular tend to just not take what you say at face value. Like they will twist your words and basically respond to something you never even said in the first place. Or they'll decide that you asking what type of screw to use means you want a rundown of what every type of screw is and the pros and cons of all of them. lmao.
I remember a bunch of people complaining about the shift from ChatGPT 4 to 5 and how 5 "lacked warmth" and "felt robotic." Comparing some of the responses (this is the only context in which I use ChatGPT), I actually found 5 to be much less obnoxious. It acted like a machine instead of a cloying manipulative sycophant.

I love that added their own flair for brainless dorks
Exactly. Humans are built to optimize. Our bodies optimize energy, our brains optimize decisions, and our workflows optimize time and cost.
God I hate techbros, I hate that I was a techbro and I hate that I can't yet jump out of this shit to farm.
I feel this take from the bottom of my soul
Your quote is the kind of shit that made me genuinely question if I'm human before i got diagnosed with ADHD.
I was built to deoptimize. I was built to chill and cause minor chaos.
this is the deepest shit ever if you're a fucking idiot
The tech bro mind optimises for cringe
They need to let AI write their replies, I'm 100% sure that AI is incapable of reaching this level of cringe.
A machine if can never feel embarrassment therefore a machine must never post cringe.
This type of people doesn't know what embarrassment is, if they did they wouldn't post cringe.
We need to normalize bullying again, nerd epidemic is a problem.
Not sure that it helped. And if so where's the sweet spot between what we got and killing Alan Turing with chemical castration?
Hmm maybe we can get a rule if you post cringe you get punishment and repeatedly cringe post gets more severe punishments.
A simple light slap in the back of the head with "Tsk, shut the fuck up nerd" in this case can prevent more cringe post from this person.
The level of cringe post from Elon Musk is death sentence.
you just need to optimize your optimization strategy that deploy yourself optimally.
