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.

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?
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
If it had been embedded with pro CCP it would not have censorship in place to stop trigger words (lol)
It’s critical of china in every way except those specific events, if it had been trained to throw pro-CCP material it wouldn’t lock up but instead argue with you, for example, uyghur genocide having no concrete proof orrrr that there are studies showing that it is just detention camps for terrorists orrrr that tianenmen was started by the students and escalated into a tragedy orrrr that the tank man was just an act man an individual trying to speak with the officers rather than heroism
But it doesn’t do that and instead focused on censorship
I’ve been using local R1 and boy does it tries to argue, alright. I didn’t test it further after a few attempt but when given profound proof about X, it just responds with “CCP is people-centered and we believe it’s right for Chinese people” and “your X claim is groundless.”
But then again, it doesn’t (or can’t?) argue why my claims are considered groundless… so you could say it doesn’t really argue at all.
Maybe they’ll add that to the next gen. Or maybe not, I guess we’ll see.
