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.

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.
