For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

Who knows what kind of messaging is really behind this? Imagine you're in a cult that believes if public-private partnerships don't proprietarily monopolize the entire AI industry worldwide, DeepSeek will turn everyone into bone paperclips & jerky. It would be easy to justify a prank that also conveniently captures the attention of a widely romantically-deranged society to save ~~your stock~~ the universe & stay in people's brains. Hell I bet they're coaxing those guys that do the shooting on purpose. They've probably got 300 guys in Nigeria right now pretending to be God speaking through ChatGPT to find the next Great Crashout victim. Just a thought really.
I mean over and over again they have been caught using overseas remote labor and calling it "ai". Like musk's stupid robots.
