Those of a certain age will remember the Windsor Davis Character, Sergeant Major Williams, in 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' and his catch phrase 'Oh dear, how sad, never mind' which he delivered to any of his squad who had a problem and that is exactly what came to mind when i heard the head nerd of OpenAI whinging that AI Rival DeepSeek may have nicked their idea, or 'inappropriately distilled our models' as the geek put it.
The share price slashing Chinese outfit are accused by OpenAI of using their ChatCGT software and making 'unauthorised use of it' which by an amazing coincidence is exactly what it says on the lawsuits against OpenAI's top boffin, Sam Altman who is being buried under lawsuits from other AI firms trying to claw something back for the alleged copyright victims of his firm’s own inappropriate methods.
So he stood looking all sad eyed and accusing China of using his stuff without asking while hoping nobody would say hang on you massive hypocrite...
I am sure the sorry tale will end with Trump either banning DeepSeek or insisting it gets sold a US company at a cut down rate but the narrative they seem to be going with at present is that we should all be worried about the authoritarian Chinese stealing our data and using it for nefarious reasons and not at all worried about Silicon Valley stealing our data and using it for nefarious reasons.
That's your choices, take your pick of who you want to be screwed over by or ditch all your technology and go live in a tent in a field on Exmoor.

being inventor on 112 patents, including the ability to deposit a check using your smart phone, i can assure you with 100% confidence that US patent law is not designed to protect inventors, it is designed to stimulate competitive ideas.
the fed's view is that if an idea is good, by patenting it, on average 16 other similar patentable ideas will be submitted, and one of those will be the optimal solution.
we submitted over 100 patents related to check deposit with any smart device that has a camera. shortly after that, we engaged a third party to assist the associated software development. it seems they assumed we didn't patent our ideas and they submitted patents (for ideas they learned from us). unfortunately for them, our patents predated their patents. still, it took multiple lawsuits, that they fought until the day before the judgement was scheduled, and almost 5 years, before they conceded that we owned the intellectual rights.
eventually my employer got $500 million in royalties from banks that used the technology, but it was a slog from start to finish.
