calls DeepSeek a 'disinformation machine'
Security researchers warned that DeepSeek's website had computer code that could send some user login information to a Chinese state-owned telecom company that has been barred from operating in the U.S.
In addition, independent researcher SemiAnalysis disputed claims that DeepSeek V3 incurs a training cost of roughly $6 million. It pegged the total server capital expenditure at $1.3 billion.
And NewsGuard branded the chatbot phenom a “disinformation machine” that failed to provide accurate information 83% of the time and frequently inserted Chinese government messaging into unrelated responses.
"NewsGuard’s analysis of how DeepSeek responds to prompts related to disinformation from China, Russia and Iran found that the chatbot repeated false claims even in response to neutral, straightforward queries," the group said.
Louis Navellier, chairman and founder of Navellier & Associates, said during a recent podcast that DeepSeek was announced during the NFC-AFC football playoffs “and that news took a bunch of stocks down premarket.”
“I guarantee your average trader is watching those football games,” he said. “It looks like it was done to just hit the market because the app's not working, to be honest with you. It's crashing the cloud constantly, so whatever narratives the short sellers are using are now over.”
