Honestly this was always idiotic to begin with. European car lobby was whining that Chinese green and renewable tech is too high quality and we can’t compete. Fucking invest more into green and renewable tech, you know, just like China did to end up in the lead.

Right, so DeepSeek proved that you can make slop more efficiently and at a lower cost than what the American companies are doing, which obviously is a threat to the massive amounts of money that they’re pretending to throw around. If you can make it more efficient you won’t need billions for data centres, or trillions for GPUs.

It also doesn’t function without JavaScript. If you’re security or privacy conscious chances are not zero that you have JS disabled, in which case this presents a roadblock.
On the flip side of things, if you are a creator and you’d prefer to not make use of JS (there’s dozens of us) then forcing people to go through a JS “security check” feels kind of shit. The alternative is to just take the hammering, and that feels just as bad.
