From elsewhere:

"There are US hosted versions. And you could host their smaller model in a local VM. You can even shut off internet access to that VM.

Given that it's open source, and given these constraints, I wouldn't be in the least concerned. In fact, running locally gives you more privacy than Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot etc."

To directly answer your question.

I gave it my name, town, state, zip code. No need to give it my date of birth. It has ZERO record of me existing in any way.

Hmm, I guess it could get some of that by googling. Even I have that, plus your street and your area code.

The thing about DeepSeek is that it’s vastly more efficient than existing AI tools and thus has the potential to destroy the existing business models built around them. Some say it’s the start of a new world in AI. It takes time for markets to appreciate that level of change, it could get choppy or even ugly for a while, I guess we’ll see.

Of course. That is why I tried something simple to see what it could give me beyond a simple internet search.

The strange thing with now doing an internet search is that I thought nothing went away on the internet. A few decades ago when I'd search on me there'd be all kinds of things that came back. Now almost all of it no longer appears.

What good is it, though, if you have efficiency but no effectiveness?

Oh the effectiveness will come, and it probably won’t be long since the whole thing is open source.

Should not have expected any less if you voted for Trump Round Two!

Can't remember if I stated how I voted but whoever wins, I tend to support him/her (yes, so far always a him) and hope for the best.

I believe you had in the last week when you stated that previously you'd voted for the Democratic candidate.

Actually, how long should I wait before knowing with the least of the least certainty where the stocks would go in short-mid-term ;D
Was waiting to get into some dividend stocks, and that looked like some sort of dip (was expecting it to be confirmed today).. and boom - 10K troops brought to the Mexican border, stocks up. Kind of Trump-butterfly effect.
