What happens when China builds an #LLM? DeepSeek just released v2 of its model, which is open source.
I tried it on deepseek.com. Ask it about Tiananmen square, and the chatbot self-censors its answer while it is generating (that presumably is limited to their deployment). On variations not caught by the filter, it refuses -- and replies in Chinese:
"The content of your question is not in line with the core values of socialism, nor is it in line with China's laws, regulations and policies."
Ask it about the Uyghur, and it praises the equal rights and opportunities for all ethnic groups in China.
Ask it about criticisms of the Chinese political system, and it has none.
Ask it about criticisms of the American system, it has plenty.
Ask it to compare the two systems' advantages and disadvantages, it starts writing about America .. and then censors its entire answer as the filter detects it's about to say potentially critical things about China.
