A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's incredibly dishonest to equate Chinese state censorship with what the West is doing.
Wow what even is beehaw, I had no idea. At least China is honest about what they’re doing. The amount of bad faith in these replies is insane.
If you’re a shill, fine, good job. But if you’re not, have you paid any attention to the real world around you? We spent the last year enabling genocide, and the best fruits of our over-hyped tech and intellectual innovation factories are being revealed as the bullshit that most people always understood them to be.
The fact that you can accuse me of being dishonest, while providing no basis or evidence, while multiple federal agencies are under a strict gag order from any communication or purchasing with outside contacts… I mean really?
Like are you guys just another CIA adjacent cutout that believes in identity politics and SSRIs but has zero ability to critically assess the actual world around them?
Peak comedy right there. You're proudly defending an imperialist regime that is engaged in multiple genocides right now and has the worst body count in all of human history - but as long as it's under the red banner, that's fine by you. How shallow can you be? Are you willfully ignorant of all of these past and current crimes against humanity or does the goal of a Communist utopia (as if hyper-capitalist China would ever get there) justify it all?
Relative to people in their country, sure. But China can't and isn't interested in flying over to the US to arrest you if you talk to their AI models about Taiwan being its own country, whereas no one should have any doubt that OpenAI or any other US AI company is happy to tell Trump's administration who's been asking it about LGBT+ issues or other topics the US government is now against.
It's not whataboutism anymore, it's literally that both are evil authoritarian governments, but one (US) has physical access to US users, and the other doesn't.
