Our founder on DeepSeek AI - https://lnkd.in/epH5-Eb2
Like many of my fellow nerds, I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing with #DeepSeek. While much has already been said, I will quote my father: "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is." R1 contains impressive technical innovations, is certainly disruptive, and the fact that I can run a responsive interactive model at home on an old 1080Ti is evidence of the efficiency gains. But I don't believe for a minute that they trained this thing on $5M, duct tape, and bailing wire. The wrapper app is a data vacuuming Trojan Horse (ala TikTok, RedNote), and the propaganda story is certainly intentional and has the Chinese Communist Party smiling ear to ear. Not everything is as it seems.
