Approved Bots
This is true for the deep seek app, not the published network.
Expect to see this in more applications, especially when dealing with AI. Why do you feel like you’ve noticed an uptick in having to complete captchas on every website you visit?
It’s an easy way for them to validate if you’re human or some competitor AI/scraper bot that’s trying to train on their data.
OpenAI is so scared about the possibility of DeepSeek distilling their model, I guarantee they are adding a keystroke/key pattern recognition system into their own front ends to combat it. If it’s not there already which would surprise me.
Expect your privacy to continue to be eroded in the name of ~~profit~~ technological progress.
Wait but distillers will surely usw the API instead oft the Frontend, right?
Fuuuuck that.
Playing devil's advocate here. Mouse movements and key presses have been commonly used as bot detection method for a decade now. Like that captcha service that is just a checkbox, that's part of how they guessed that you are not a bot.
Yeah, no. I mean yes - that's true, and yes it's a way to detect bots, and no I'm not going to allow that wherever possible.
I wouldn’t necessarily call it key logging but all these services are going to store anything you search.
"keystroke patterns or rhythms"???
Fuckin' hell.
Damn it we need Private-R1 now
Whose ToS is this?
DeepSeek.
So the Open-R1 wouldn't be doing this?
Is there a tech focused summary on everything about DeepSeek and the situation with OpenAI?
Fireship maybe? It is not that complicated, they just make a good cheap AI and big tech is panicking because they can only make good expensive AI
