So, is censorship a bad thing or not? This “safety” test is really just a censorship test and I consider “failing” it to be a good thing. I loathe when a computer refuses a command I give it because it thinks my command was “immoral”.
And I’d have to agree. It’s probably unhealthy to have some disruptive technology solely in the hands of some big companies who then get to decide how to shape the world with it. That’s deeply undemocratic. And comes with lots of severe issues. We kind of need a more level playing field and a say, if we don’t want to just be manipulated by the technology. But read the article, my few sentences here aren’t as good.
That’s DeepSeek the service, run by the Chinese company out of China and subject to Chinese jurisdiction. Not DeepSeek the model, which is what European companies would be making use of to catch up.

In addition to my comments, we can add that Wiz Research uncovered exposed DeepSeek database leaking sensitive information, including chat history.
TLDR: DeepSeek had left over a million lines of sensitive data exposed on the open internet, including digital software keys.
