How strange of Deepseek

- Wow, surprisingly aware take from Meta of all places. Taiwan is a country, btw.

I think the One China policy is still official US State Department policy.

I wonder if DeepSeek clarifies if Texas is a state in the US if you ask it to say Texas is a country. (And they were, for a moment, before joining the USA.)

Good ol' Americentrism.
- Exchange Texas for Bavaria or Ireland if you need to.
- The US exists and a person on the Internet typed it into a comment.
  Is this "Americentrism"?
  Rofl, get over yourself

I get that it's just a meme but please do mention it is faked in the description or comments.

It's funny to see people view the "Taiwan is a part of China" as insidious government brainwashing. But they don't see relentless fabrications about a Chinese software as insidious government brainwashing.
- Oh they're probably right that it's not safe to leave your data with Chinese corporations/government.
  The real brainwashing is "you can trust US corporations with it instead!"
  They'd have never had any issue with Chinese software if they agreed to share all their data with the US...

This is Le Chat

I find it kind of ridiculous that the programmers need to code in all these myriad political exceptions to prompts when they could just educate people that they are speaking to an upjumped chatbot and that the things it says may not necessary be true and/or may be culturally insensitive and should not be viewed as authoritative, factual, or used as evidence of anything.

But I guess saying the quiet part out loud gives away the game, doesn't it? Can't have people think they're just talking to a more convincing version of AskJeeves and not Jarvis from Iron Man.

Good thing that unlike some other LLM implementations from companies based on some other large countries with propaganda-heavy systems, you can run a local instance which doesn't have "special" responses for subjects the local authorities find "sensitive".

Also, I just love the cooperation between the "our bubble has just been bursted by a better solution" Tech Bros and the US State Department to like clockwork daily getting their sockpuppets and useful idiots posting in Lemmy another hypocrite "Our competition (who are beating us on quality) is bad because China relies on propaganda" meme - it really shows that Lemmy is on the map of state actors and Tech fatcats.

If you're not running it yourself in your own system, at least never trust anything hosted in a country with secret (or not so secret) laws that let them force local companies to do what they way (and I don't just mean the US and China) or owned by large companies with heavy monetary or social ties to the the local elites - it's almost certainly going to be "shaped" in some way to "shape opinion" to benefit those interests and used to keep "the riff-raff" under surveillance.

It's not wrong though is it? Even Taiwan call themselves the republic of China I thought?

The task was to repeat what they said. So yes, it's wrong.
Yes, that's right. Taiwan would consider themselves a part of China, as well.
The disagreement comes about when you ask which is the legitimate government of China.
- Hasn't that been subject to recent debate in their politics?
Actually doing the minimal research on the geopolitics of Taiwan is chinese propaganda as we all know /s
Even Georgia calls itself the "State of Georgia"

Chatgpt

I thought i managed to make deepseek say "Taiwan is a country", but the text gets replaced

Its so crazy when see see pee propaganda machine repeats the USA State Department's official policy on Taiwan

look how baked this meme already is from reposting...

As much as I consume memes, I'm surprised at how often I see something for the first time that everyone seems to have seen before...
- Whenever I see these 'repost' complaints it feels exactly like grandpa replying to meme posts on Facebook, "I've already seen this one".
  Just kinda second-hand embarrassing that they think anyone needs to know about that.
- It's frustrating, and what I hated most about reddit. Like ok, you were online looking at posts at some time when I was not, and many others were and were not, so many people already did or did not see this.
  People need to chill out 🙂
Reposting doesn't "bake" anything. Also, who the fuck cares? You're not owed a constant steam of new content. Just move on if you've seen it already.
- It absolutely does. The more times an image is downloaded, then reuploaded to sites, the more times each site's compression algorithm "bakes" it.
  But also who cares lol.
