@dalias Malaysians are very practical people. If a tool exists, we use it. We don't choose our tools by ideology or moral philosophy lol. I find this a very unique way of thinking ;)
Now that Deepseek is around, I'm definitely using that as it is not only free but better for the environment. And seeing that this is possible, I'm confident the Chinese (or anyone in the world, now that it's open source) will find even more efficient ways to run it. After all, Deepseek can be run from your laptops now. So, in the future I expect more localised AI.
