US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks

What commenters are saying

Commenters largely criticized the hypocrisy of US AI labs like Anthropic complaining about Chinese firms scraping their models, given that these same labs scraped public web content and defended it as fair game. Some argued DeepSeek's actions were just competition, or merely a terms-of-service violation. Others noted all labs engage in similar cross-scraping. A few commenters shared demonstrations: one got Claude to introduce itself as ChatGPT, and another noted Opus once said "Help Grok understand it better." Some viewed US blacklisting as protecting capital interests, while open models keep profits with NVIDIA and cloud providers.
