Summary:
The launch of Chinese AI application DeepSeek in the U.S. has raised national security concerns among officials, lawmakers, and cybersecurity experts. The app quickly became the most downloaded on Apple’s store, disrupting Wall Street and causing a record 17% drop in Nvidia’s stock. The White House announced an investigation into the potential risks, with some lawmakers calling for stricter export controls to prevent China from leveraging U.S. technology.
Beyond economic impact, experts warn DeepSeek may pose significant data security risks, as Chinese law allows government access to company-held data. Unlike TikTok, which stores U.S. data on Oracle servers, DeepSeek operates directly from China, collecting personal user information. The app also exhibits censorship, blocking content on politically sensitive topics like Tiananmen Square. Some analysts argue that, as an open-source model, DeepSeek may not be as concerning as TikTok, but critics worry its widespread adoption could advance China’s influence through curated information control.
US needs to be a lot more transparent about all these concerns. It’s starting to feel like shouting wolf.
Oh no! Anyway….
The veil… it has been lifted.
Let’s also remember that “U.S. officials” now describes MAGA flunkies that replaced actually qualified professionals.
Good. Perhaps while all the idiots are busy devising a “plan” to address this, those evil brain leave everyone else alone.
This is just so fun to watch.
America: “Executive order now! No US person is allowed to help the Chinese develop these technologies! We will imprison you traitor!”
China: “OK. We’ll just develop it ourselves.” DeepSeek enters the chat
America: “Fuck! National security emergency!”
NOOOOOOOOO
MYY YACHT MONEYYYYYYYY
The cope is absolutely unreal.
it’s not fully ooen souce tho.
it comes with binary blobs you can’t build from the source.
When you’re living in the imperial core violently genociding the planet to make a quick buck, of course everything is a security concern and opportunity for the MIC to profit.
It’s not, but I wish it was.
They can ban it but I will just go use seekdeep instead :|
While the calls from Moolenaar could be the first inkling of a possible congressional crackdown, Ross Burley — a co-founder of the nonprofit Centre for Information Resilience — warned that DeepSeek’s emergence in the U.S. raises data security and privacy issues for users.
Yeah, because it’s just soooo much better to have American plutocrats slurping up our data without consent and getting to do whatever they want with impunity. /s
“What they’ll use it for is behavior change campaigns, disinformation campaigns, for really targeted messaging as to what Western audiences like, what they do,” he added.
Yeah, because it’s just soooo much better to have American plutocrats doing every single one of those things and more in the name of Profit. /s
Our leaders are hilariously tone-deaf.
Hahahahahahahaha, manufactured consent in full throttle here. Hahahahahaha
*plays the world’s smallest violin
Us Corpo got daddy Sam to come protect them from the bad chinaman
Pathetic… Sam altman defrauded microshit, they deserve each other
As we just lost any sort of moral high ground, ok. 2 years ago maybe I’d be worried. 9 years ago I’d definitely have been worried. Today, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.
If they’re limiting focus to the Chinese app then they’re noir wrong. If they mean the whole model then they’re full of crap.
