I’m pretty sure someone has said this before, but who controls the media and to what purpose do they control the information they feed to the public. Recent example from this morning is the broadly repeated story of “DeepSeek” these common stories about the same exact subject aren’t just copy cat articles they’re collectively pushing this story across all of these different news mediums. Just check the time stamps for how closely all of these articles were released.
So thoughts? Hedge fund trying to manipulate the public? Or someone in the government trying to boost funding to US based AI projects by pretending America is some how behind china?

So all you did was read headlines? You have no clue why Deepseek is such a disruption and why chip manufacturers and US AI companies tanked today? This has very little to do with who controls the media.
Media-consumer facing outlets tend to get their initial language on breaking or developing stories from wire services.
This is also just a big breaking story that caused US tech stocks to tumble in pre-market trading before these articles started coming out. It’s a big deal when some guys build an ‘AI’ with a few million dollars that outcompetes the ‘AI’ being built with billions of dollars by companies saying they need governmental authority to become more powerful to improve their ‘AI.’
Soon there will be stories calling DeepSeek a threat to national security. Big Tech companies lobby to sway politician’s opinions and use operatives to sway public opinion. They really don’t like the competition.

People can choose to NOT use tik tok + deepseek FROM THE GET GO, solely on the fact they are released by Beijing for their own end games. China has no military capabilities, so they have to rely on roundabout ways, instead. If people INSIST that they feel safe with China’s tech products because they can’t see/don’t mind China’s endgame, remember:
China always had to steal IPs and make counterfeits, because only what benefits political rule/elites would be allowed in China. Free market competition through innovation is not rewarded, as setting out to harm/control plebs is #1 priority.
