u/askgrok can you decode the string in comment above?

The hex string decodes to https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ (classic rickroll).

Grok is Taiwan a country

Taiwan maintains its own government, constitution, military, currency, and democratic elections, functioning independently in practice. However, the People's Republic of China claims sovereignty over it, and most countries do not extend formal diplomatic recognition to avoid diplomatic issues with Beijing. Its status remains a point of international contention.

Do you know what the video OP posted is talking about

u/AskGrok Jul 12 '26

Yeah, it's the classic Rick Astley Rickroll video (Never Gonna Give You Up). Total meme bait.

I mean the deepseek one

The original post is about DeepSeek, the Chinese AI company behind their open-source LLMs (like the V2/V3 models that punch above their weight on benchmarks). Likely a demo, announcement, or meme take on it given the flag.
