HN Discussion:
  • Users praise DeepSeek as affordable and effective, undermining the case for blacklisting
  • Blacklisting is hypocritical protectionism contradicting free market principles
  • US is becoming authoritarian like the China it claims to oppose
  • Entity List restrictions are largely ineffective given China's independence from US tech
  • Chinese open models are a strategic ploy to build dependence and sympathy in the West
