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.
At this point I can’t say I trust my data with the US more than China tbh. China isn’t threatening to attack Europe, and Chinese companies are not actively bribing EU governments for months, and interfering with elections.
But anyway, all this FUD always forgets to mention that you can also just host your own uncensored, unmonitored Deepseek model if you work with sensitive information.
