This guy is very very scared of Deepseek and all the potential malicious things it will do, seemingly due to the fact that it’s Chinese. As soon as the comments point out that ChatGPT is probably worse, he disagrees with no reasoning.

Transcription:

DeepSeek as a Trojan Horse Threat.

DeepSeek, a Chinese-developed Al model, is rapidly being installed into productive software systems worldwide. Its capabilities are impressive-hyper-advanced data analysis, seamless integration, and an almost laughably low price. But here’s the problem: nothing this cheap comes without a hidden agenda.

What’s the real cost of DeepSeek?

  1. Suspiciously Cheap Advanced models like DeepSeek aren’t “side projects.” They take massive investments, resources, and expertise to develop. If it’s being offered at a fraction of its value, ask yourself-who’s really paying for it?

  2. Backdoors Everywhere DeepSeek’s origin raises alarm bells. The more systems it infiltrates, the more it becomes a potential vector for mass compromise. Think backdoors, data exfiltration, and remote access at scale-hidden vulnerabilities deliberately built in.

  3. Wide Adoption = Global Risk From finance to healthcare, DeepSeek is being installed across critical systems at an alarming rate. If adoption continues unchecked, 80% of our systems could soon be compromised.

  4. The Trojan Horse Effect DeepSeek is a textbook example of a Trojan horse strategy: lure organizations with a cheap, powerful tool, infiltrate their systems, and quietly map or control them. Once embedded, reversing the damage will be nearly impossible.

The Fairytale lsn’t Real

The story of DeepSeek being a “low-cost, side project” is just that-a fairytale. Technology like this isn’t developed without strategic motives. In the world of cyber warfare, cheap tools often come at the highest cost.

What Can We Do?

Audit your systems: Is DeepSeek already embedded in your critical infrastructure?

Ask the hard questions: Why is this so cheap? Where’s the transparency?

Take immediate action: Limit adoption before it’s too late. The price may look attractive, but the real cost could be our collective security.

Don’t fall for the fairytale.

So, basically the old anti-Linux FUD with some anti-China sentiment sprinkled on top?

That’s stupid. I’m anti-anything-not-FOSS because I am not going to trust anyone I don’t know.

Same note, I am not going to trust any AI. Ever. I don’t give a flying anything about anything to trust anyone or thing I don’t know. That’s stupid.

“Suspiciously cheap”

Tell that to every writer who took decades honing their craft, just for western AI to come in and hoover it all up and sell it in a monthly subscription.

Fucking jackass.

Can’t you run it locally because it’s open source? Like yeah, don’t implement software running on servers you don’t control, duh! Same thing is true with ChatGPT, with the exception that you cannot run that yourself, so Deepseek is actually safer for companies. All these products that just send requests to Open AI servers are stupid anyways. They are working closely with a fascist government now, you really want your personal data to go through them?

That’s essentially what the comments were telling him, so at least there’s some sanity.

I guarantee you it hasn’t been embedded into much of anything yet what are they even talking about. I still get questions daily by people in a similar job role to him that are like “how can we use AI, we’re behind everyone else!” Except it is everyone is saying it, how can everyone be behind everyone?

The whole thing reads like it’s written by whatever LLM Linkedin provides
