A bit of a tangent, but the funniest part to me is that nobody (important) in China gave a shit about DeepSeek until prestigious universities in the West like MIT talked about how much of an innovation it was.
Maybe because the release of their Deepseek’s actual “Groundbreaking” new model that stirred up a storm in the west and the stormed stirred up in the west, the “deepseek” moment lets say, all happened within what 1-2 weeks at most? How quickly would you possibly expect the CPC, which isnt known for rushing onto news and trends and outward narrative changes fast, to start adopting and promoting Deepseek. Its pretty crazy to go on one of your rants when the simple and obvious answer is that we cant possibly know how and how quickly China and the CPC would have reacted to Deepseek without the west losing their shit first simply because the West lost their shit almost immediately on arival. And its not indicative of anything that China and Chinese officials, seeing their western counterparts and the relevant big players and media in that field along with relevant market indicators, being extremely shook and vocal about Deepseek within days sped up the “looking into it” thing from higher ups.
Also you actualy believe the chinese wouldnt have caught up and recognize they have produced domesticaly an industry leading product and made a huge leap in a high tech sector that they actualy have had specific focus on? That it would have gone unnoticed or ignored for months without the west freaking out about it? Come on now
