      It’s a useful tool in propaganda to set all focus on the injustices of our enemies and thus never contemplate the injustices of our own. Over there it’s a problem, here it’s well you know, understandable.

      The biases in your sources of information that you know about are infinetly better than the ones you don’t know about.

        Aren’t you aware of Chinese bias? Not a post about china goes by without some reference to Whinnie the pooh and censorship.

        Perhaps deep seek is better because people seem to be unaware of our own biases?

          Yes, I’m aware. That’s also why I am against the Tiktok ban. Everyone knows about the censorship. I’m more afraid of the media ecosystem being tampered with.

          Wat?

            People are unaware of the bias of their own government. People are aware of the biases of the Chinese government.

            The biases you’re aware of is better than the biases you’re unaware of.

            Therefore: the deep seek bias is better than openai’s. More tongue in cheek, don’t worry about it.

            I kinda agree for what it’s worth. I’m only half aware of the shit the UK government instilled in me, confronting it is good. I support the tiktok ban in so far as I don’t like any of the “skinner box” media. I wouldn’t single out the Chinese version because it’s Chinese. Edit to clarify, I don’t support an “only tiktok” ban.

            Likewise for AI, I wouldn’t treat deepseek negatively just for being Chinese. If it could make my countrymen less [blank]phobic that would be a boon. I don’t hold much hope though.
