Deepseek AI made quite a splash when it was released in January. It caused Nasdaq’s stock to drop temporarily but the company has been the target of many western attacks.
The issue with DeepSeek is simply the same thing that ByteDance is facing with TikTok: Its a Chinese app.
For many years, China was able to be in the order, build its economy, while the West was hoping it would become more like them, while Putin’s Russia was the corrupt offshoot which was not following their orders. China has an ancient culture which was making advanced Jade sculptures in its Neolithic cultures, is not going to bend to Europe. China has a sophisticated political culture, and its people have generations of political wisdom unlike the Russians.
DeepSeek has made Generative AI much cheaper. While some were trying to criticize it, the app has gotten millions of users. It has been very successful and it making headways across the AI space.
Deepseek has been facing bans in the bureaucracies of Western European countries. However, I believe that the European countries are doing a disservice to their populations.
Chinese tech is spreading across the globe. Xiaomi has been making many competitive devices and putting European brands such as Philips to shame. I think that DeepSeek will be a viable competitor to Open AI and Elon Musk’s Grok AI.
This Internet Cold War is a consequence of the age of globalization been driven by the West thinking that China would just come into its own cultural sphere.
The main problem is that the West is arrogant and is reliant on its own success in the past. China’s DeepSeek is going to be competitive with Yandex’s Alice and Baidu’s AI. It is going to be sort of a BRICS style AI consortium.
