commenter justifying why the EU is attempting to loosen their privacy laws.
They’re not?
They’re listing 2 possibilities:
Status quo: the whole AI (and tech in general) remains foreign controlled.
EU makes a change in GDPR Law
Maybe you can add a third option, like: “Perhaps GDPR law isn’t the reason why the tech sector in EU is so non-existant”, and a constructive conversation could’ve been had.
Has anything I’ve written even read like I’m forming a group of like minded people, virtue signaling, and running the other person out of town?
Yes.
when I’m clearly responding to what the person wrote and only what the person wrote
That’s sadly incorrect. You responded to an incorrect assumption made about the original comment.

explaining something no one asked to be explained, sort of gave away their opinion with their explanation
I understood that point of view. I just don’t agree, at all! I prefer factual conversation, describing the dilemma. OP demonstrated that they understand that the problem has multiple tradeoffs.
coloring the loss of privacy laws for the betterment of AI companies as a good or necessary thing (like the original commenter did).
The original commenter didn’t do that? They described the tradeoff.
I think you prefer tribal, coloured conversation. To the point where if it doesn’t match your preferred colour, you very quickly and incorrectly assume people are anti your colour?

Good luck to them!

Explaining something no one asked to be explained without providing an opinion on the subject itself reads like tacit approval.
Do some people’s brains really work like that? I prefer it when people simply describe a problem, instead of making it all tribal and mixing reality with opinion!

The quality of discourse on lemmy is fucking dire.
Amen. A large fraction of the people on lemmy lack empathy and the ability to consider other viewpoints in general. Very closed minded crowd.

DeepSeek is it’s own model, designed and trained from ground up. It’s a novel architecture even. Impressive work.
It’s not a ‘stolen from the US’ model.

It’s the tradeoff that’s happening. Maybe you’ve alternative solutions?

I think the point is that the EU isn’t participating in the software industry, including AI, at all.

- Comment on Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity 4 days ago:
I Belgium there’s a part of your bill proportional to the max power draw you did.
For example, it at a certain point in the year you drew 30kW, then your final “connection cost” will be proportional to that 30kW.
Even if you only use electricity at noon on sunny days, when the power component is basically free or negative in price.
- Comment on Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity 4 days ago:
Same in Belgian in summer.
- Comment on Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity 4 days ago:
In Belgium electricity prices around noon already regularly are negative. There’s so much power producers need to pay to get rid of it, letst it damages infrastructure.

I think Ray Dalio’s take on it is correct. It’s a consequence of currency devaluation, as people in general vote against the deflation necessary to deflate the bubble. (1)

- Comment on Are there any decent GPT-detection tools that can be run locally? 3 weeks ago:
if a tool exists which can easily and reliably detect AI generated content then they’d just be using that tool for their training
Generative Adversarial Networks are an example of that idea in action.

One of these projects might be of interest to you:
Do note that CPU inference is quite a lot slower than CPU. I currently like the quantized deepseek models as currently the best balanced between quality of replies and inference time when not using GPU.
