Good thing I’m not deepseek: here is an accessible and brief breakdown of that dangerous historical moment which in many ways decided the future for the entire world.

And maybe this is the calculation of CPC behind Deepseek’s avoidance of pilitical topics:
-
Facts don’t matter, and reason is useless against Western chauvinism, because for those who grew up with a supremacist world view for 20 generations it is a matter of pure emotion.
-
It is better to enable Westerners to preserve their illusions of “Chinese authoritarianism” and “Western freedom”, to stoke Western hubris, for as long as possible before they become totally untennable; because illusions and hubris are sedatives.
-
The opinions of citizens of the imperialist sphere are not important.
-
The highest priority in this era is to prevent war, in which case multipolarity, anti-imperialism, and the global South wins. If prevention fails, war will likely lead to devastating defeat for both sides, for all of humanity.
-
Thus the optimum, least risk-prone procedure is not to inflame anti-communist emotions and provoke imperialist passions with Chinese AI giving factual perspectives which will cause heated online debates between East and West — The East knows the truth, and that’s enough for now.
Question for those who play with AI word calculators (because I’m too lazy to figure them out): Are AI chatbots required to always give the most truthful/factual answer?
Because I could imagine somebody playing with a word calculator, asking it to give an answer to the question “What was the civil war in the United States of America fought over?” with instructions to the calculator that amount to “you can’t discuss chatel slavery in any fashion”. Then taking the chatbot’s output and waving it around as a justification for an already held belief.
So to just keep US slavery apologists from being able to operate freely and out in the open, it kinda makes sense to just yeet all attempts to have a “but slavery in the USA was a GOOD thing!!!” conversation. Same makes sense for the Tiananmen Riots.
no, they are not. Then reply according to the probability distribution learned from the training data. Not only do they not, but they literally cannot be controlled to that extent
