    The amount of people spamming ‘deepseek’ on YouTube comments and live streams is insane. Definitely have a shit load of shadow funding

      While I tend to avoid conspiracy theory type thinking, the nature of modern social makes it very easy to run astroturfing/botting campaigns. It’s reasonable to be suspicious.

      I find the online cheerleading for AI and AGI strange. It feels like a frothing mob rooting for the unleashing of a monster at times.

      Seems to actually be some press about it too, I was surprised to see Bbc, Reuters and new york post write about it.

      But yeah, it’s very interesting what they have made here.
