The comment isn't wrong, but the implication is at deep seek is somehow special and is getting undue attention from hackers. Any app that skyrockets from nowhere to number one in the app store overnight will have the attention of probably hundreds of thousands of hackers.

... It is special.
There was over a trillion dollars wiped from tech stocks lol, in a massive win for consumers and the planet. You can't say this is like Flappy Bird or something.
The stock market does all sorts of silly things. If the stocks recover in 2 weeks to where they were, will that be deep seek erasing $1T and tech re-earning $1T? Or deep seek doing nothing?

For sure. This one was pretty clear though. It's exactly what you'd expect when a moat evaporates overnight.
Even if tech stocks recover in 2 weeks (doubt) an open source model comparable to o1 with a 50x efficiency gain is still not just another app. Which means there will be bad actors with a special interest in spreading narratives on every relevant forum...
