> How is this a "threat".
Given how closely major US tech companies are now affiliated and partnered with the US Federal government, arguably the direct potential threat from them to US citizens may well be higher than from across a very big pond.
People trot out "I'd rather our guys spy on me than them" a lot, but that's putting a lot of faith in your local government. Conversely, who do you think has more to fear from their logged prompts on DeepSeek, US or Chinese citizens?
- karim79 2y agoI think you missed my point, or I wasn't clear enough. Your point is exactly the one I was trying to make. I think I must re-examine my articulation.
- sho_hn 2y agoI wasn't arguing against you, rather extending your argument for further effect. Should've prefixed with "Indeed, ...", sorry.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoDeepSeek is more affiliated and partnered with the CCP than US companies are with the US government. Their LLM includes literal government mandated censorship and propaganda. Their CEO met with the premier the other day. And obviously the CCP will be using this tech for military applications very soon. But Chinese citizens themselves will also be further controlled and suppressed through the extensive use of AI and robotics by their own ruling dictatorship.
- potsandpans 2y ago> DeepSeek is more affiliated and partnered with the CCP... Given what we know about the PRISM program, it's a distinction without much difference.
- sho_hn 2y ago> Their CEO met with the premier the other day. While I agree with you overall ... have you heard of Mar a Largo?
- kgeist 2y agoTbh their censorship is pretty superficial. I asked about the Tiananmen square events in Russian and it answered in full detail. ChatGPT refuses to talk about "sensitive" topics in any language.
