DeepSeek is now on the radar. And if history tells us anything, the system will respond in one of three ways:
1️⃣ Attempt to Buy It Out – The classic "if you can’t beat it, own it" move. They’ll dangle massive sums in front of key figures, offering "partnerships" that are really just controlled acquisitions.
2️⃣ Regulate It Into Submission – If they can’t buy it, they’ll try to cripple it with lawsuits, compliance hurdles, and endless bureaucratic red tape. The playbook is always the same: call it "dangerous," "unregulated," or "a threat to national security."
3️⃣ Discredit & Undermine – If the first two don’t work, expect smear campaigns, negative press, and manufactured scandals to shake public confidence. They’ll try to shift the narrative from "revolutionary AI" to "risky, unreliable, or unethical."
Big corporations don’t like competition—they like monopolies. And if DeepSeek has become a true headache to the giants, that means it’s doing something right.
The real test? Can it resist the pull of fiat incentives, pressure, and control? Because once they take the money, the game is over.
