Assuming that DeepSeek really is logging keystrokes (they provided no evidence: who were they quoting?), that is unfortunately not uncommon. As shown by their TikTok pearl clutching, corporate media regularly goes for maximalist cold war fearmongering.

MODERATORS
They are quoting DeepSeek's privacy policy. They say this before and after the first quote, and also link the policy at the top of the article.
Let's be honest, ChatGPT is also logging keystrokes.
Yes. I also like how the alarming take on it is not "People are typing their passwords / medical histories / employer's source code into ChatGPT and from there it goes straight into the training data not only to be stored forever in the corpus, but also sometimes, to be extracted at a later date by any yahoo who knows the way to tease it back out from ChatGPT via the right carefully crafted prompting!"
But instead it is "When you type things, they can see what you type! The keystrokes!"

Better for my data to be in China than in the US
you gotta think deep before you deep seek!
Time to make up a conspiracy about key leading figures, and laugh as they disappear each other.
Question: if we bridge 2 ais and let them talk to one another, will they eventually poison each other with gibberish bullshit?
