DeepSeek AI: The Tech Startup That’s Got Everyone Sweating Like a Sinner in Church!

by

In a world where artificial intelligence is as common as a cat video on the internet, Ripple‘s Chief Technical Overthinker, David Schwartz, has found himself in a bit of a pickle. You see, a pro-XRP lawyer, the ever-enthusiastic Jeremy Hogan, has raised a ruckus about the security of a Chinese tech startup called DeepSeek AI. And when lawyers start waving their arms about privacy concerns, you know it’s serious—like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 🐱

DeepSeek AI Faces Scrutiny Over Security Risks

DeepSeek AI has recently become the belle of the ball, but not in the way one might hope. Its newfound fame has sent the financial markets into a tizzy, causing tech stocks like NVIDIA to experience a selloff that could make a seasoned stockbroker weep into their morning coffee. ☕️

But wait! There’s more! The US authorities have decided that DeepSeek is about as trustworthy as a three-legged dog in a race. The White House has confirmed that national security officials are giving the startup the ol’ once-over, and the US Navy has even told its personnel to steer clear of DeepSeek’s applications. Apparently, they’re not keen on mixing ethics with their tech. Who knew? ⚓️

Meanwhile, in a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced that the National Security Council is on the case. Former President Donald Trump even chimed in, calling DeepSeek’s breakthrough a “wake-up call” for the US tech sector. One can only imagine the alarm clocks going off in Silicon Valley. ⏰

Ripple CTO Reacts As Pro-XRP Lawyer Raises Concern

In the midst of this chaos, our hero David Schwartz decided to weigh in. Jeremy Hogan, the pro-XRP lawyer, took to X (formerly known as Twitter, because why not?) to share his findings on DeepSeek’s privacy policy. Spoiler alert: it’s about as comforting as a porcupine in a balloon factory. 🎈

Hogan declared, “I read DeepSeek’s Privacy Policy so you don’t have to. The DeepSeek privacy policy is: You don’t have any privacy. None.” He went on to explain that all user data is stored in China, where privacy laws are about as strict as a cat at a dog show. 🐶

David Schwartz Weighs In

David Schwartz, ever the master of sarcasm, responded to Hogan’s alarming revelations with a quip that could make a stone statue chuckle. He shared an image and remarked, “They’re not as bad as the terms for beta.webmaster.com used to be.” Ah, the good old days of questionable terms of service! 😏

While Schwartz’s comment may have downplayed the severity of DeepSeek’s privacy policies, it didn’t quite dismiss the broader concerns raised by Hogan and the regulatory bodies. After all, in the tech world, questionable practices are as common as bad puns at a dad joke convention.

As DeepSeek’s AI breakthrough continues to send shockwaves through US markets, investors are left wondering if they should be more worried about their stocks or their privacy. Reports suggest that NVIDIA has managed to recover from its 17% dip, but who knows what tomorrow will bring? 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile, OpenAI and other top US firms are pointing fingers at Chinese AI companies, accusing them of using knowledge distillation techniques to replicate their models. David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto advisor, has declared that preventing such practices will be a key focus for American tech leaders. Because nothing says “we’re on top of things” like a good old-fashioned tech rivalry! 🥊
