Zuckerberg Dismisses DeepSeek | Why Meta's AI Dominance Is ...
Welcome back apprentices! Yes, yes, yes, we know — you’re probably so over DeepSeek news. It’s everywhere! But guess what? Millions of Americans clearly didn’t get the memo because they’ve downloaded it since January 15 like it’s the hottest new dating app. Now, the fun part: NASA and the U.S. Navy have already hit “uninstall” faster than you close a spam email. Why? Because cybersecurity experts say DeepSeek’s privacy policy is about as solid as a wet napkin. If you love handing over your personal data like free candy, well... carry on. Anyway, that’s (almost) all the DeepSeek drama for today — don’t worry, the AI chaos is just getting started!

Why Meta Isn’t Sweating DeepSeek
DeepSeek’s AI is making waves, racking up downloads, and getting government bans faster than a crypto Ponzi scheme — but Mark Zuckerberg? Not impressed. On Meta’s recent Q4 earnings call, he basically patted DeepSeek on the head, called it “cute,” and went back to counting billions while working on Llama 4, Meta’s next-gen AI. The message? DeepSeek is the new kid on the AI playground, but Meta owns the entire school.
While AI startups are still burning investor money like it’s a campfire, Meta’s Q4 2024 earnings look like this:
- Revenue: $48.39 billion (+21% YoY) – That’s nearly $550,000 per minute.
- Net Profit: $20.84 billion (+50%) – Or, $228 million per day.
- Ad Revenue: $46.78 billion – Because Instagram is free, but somehow still makes more than entire nations.
Moral of the story: AI may be the future, but Meta’s bank account is already there. Zuckerberg confirmed that Llama 4 is coming, and instead of just pumping it full of more GPUs, Meta is making it smarter.
Better Reasoning: AI that doesn’t just predict words, but actually thinks (like a college student after coffee).
Mass Adoption: Goal? 1 billion users using Meta’s AI assistant by the end of 2025.
AI Assistant Everywhere: Think AI in your Instagram DMs, WhatsApp chats, and Messenger conversations — predicting your responses before you even type. Creepy? Maybe. Useful? Absolutely. Basically, Meta wants its AI to be your personal assistant, best friend, and nosy neighbor — all at once.
Zuck laid out several reasons why Meta isn’t even blinking at DeepSeek:
