Working in the field I think there is two things AI will make an impact on:
However, I suspect we’ll get a lot of the issues we saw with “outsourcing” where the end result is businesses pursuing cheaper outputs without concern for quality.
I think the core takeaway is your shouldn’t outsource core capabilities. If the code is that critical to your bottomline, pay for quality (which usually means no contractors - local or not).
If you outsource to other developers or AI it means most likely they will care less and/or someone else can just as easily come along and do it too.
Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.
You’re absolutely right a out data formatting being an issue and something that really does cause vendor lockin.
I would just think content creators would still want archive/backup of the final products (the video itself). For example could you imagine if a movie just disappeared because Adobe or someone shutdown.

Generally what they’re calling out is that DeepSeek currently rambles more. With LLMs the challenge is how to get the right answer most sussinctly because each extra word is a lot of time/money.
That being said, I suspect that really it’s all roughly the same. We’ve been seeing this back and forth with LLMs for a while and DeepSeek, while using a different approach, doesn’t really break the mold.
I think most of the tools have a way to download content, the issue is no one does or has a system for their backups. Which is the risk with the cloud, you’re putting all your eggs in someone elses basket.
This was actually something I found interesting with the brief TikTok shutdown in the US. A lot of creators only had their content in the editing software owned by TikTok or the app itself, meaning they lost access to all of their content.
The biggest risk of cloud only setups is you don’t own it.
The asynchronous games were a lot of fun. https://www.mariowiki.com/Nintendo_Land had a couple of them, like one where everyone is in first person mode chasing the tablet player who has a top down view.
I mean using proprietary data has been an issue with models as long as I’ve worked in the space. It’s always been a mixture of open weights, open data, open architecture.
I admit that it became more obvious when images/videos/audio became more accessible, but from things like facial recognition to pose estimation have all used proprietary datasets to build the models.
So this isn’t a new issue, and from my perspective not an issue at all. We just need to acknowledge that not all elements of a model may be open.
I mean, you can have open source weights, training data, and code/model architecture. If you’ve done all three it’s an open model, otherwise you state open “component”. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Yeah, even the cherry picked examples they provide look only okay.
To be honest everything with this company feels like an ad campaign more than anything else.
Can’t wait to find out it was just a guy in a suit.
