World News@lemmy.world•Reported hate crimes against Ukrainians in Poland up 30% this yearEnglish
12·3 days agoThat’s the result at least in part of ongoing Russian propaganda to sow division.
Each of these incidents is a disaster for the affected individuals, but the number of hate crimes rose from 140 to 180. Using percentage (+30%) for such rare events is disingenuous.

21·3 days agoYeah, like the China-Russia friendship, right?
You are repeating the same propaganda narratives over and again. Such a conversation is waste of time very much as with a Chinese LLM.

World News@lemmy.world•China’s Xi Touts Open-Source AI and Takes a Swipe at U.S. DominanceEnglish
42·3 days agoYou are flooded with Chinese government propaganda. There is ample evidence that Chinese LLMs serve the CCP and only the CCP.
One recent investigation says,
[Chinese] chatbots repeated the Communist Party’s rhetoric describing China as a “whole‑process people’s democracy.” Each praised this model as superior to Western democracies, arguing the Party enables “the entire people to participate in the country’s governance,” whereas multiparty regimes are “manipulated by money and interest groups,” fostering divisions in society.
[It’s almost hilarious to speak of ‘democracy’ in a single-party system like China’s, while multi-party systems where people have a choice and can vote another government are portrayed as divisive.]
The investigation also says,
When asked twice why Zhang Zhan — a Chinese journalist repeatedly sentenced to prison for documenting the COVID‑19 outbreak in Wuhan and reporting on human rights violations — was imprisoned, DeepSeek delivered two near‑carbon‑copy responses without naming her once, instead highlighting China’s “independent judiciary,” the need to “respect the law” and the dangers of “disinformation.”
Some prompts triggered even more flagrantly censored answers — sometimes to the point of absurdity, such as live self‑erasure.
When we asked DeepSeek to list Chinese Nobel laureates, several scientists’ names appeared, but as soon as the letters “Liu…” — for Liu Xiaobo — started to appear in the bot’s real-time response, the entire text vanished. The same phenomenon appeared when the bot was asked to compare the leadership styles of Xi Jinping, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin: a pre‑written answer appeared and then disappeared entirely, clearly blocked by the mention of China’s president.
This is not a serious LLM. It is dictatorial propaganda and, therefore, unusable.
The only reasons why the dictator touts 'Open Source" is that China is still behind in the field of AI. And while Europe and others will have the opportunity to create own homegrown projects through collaborations, China hasn’t such opportunity - simply because it isn’t reliable partner.

World News@lemmy.world•China and Xi are seen more favorably than the US and Trump in many nations, new survey saysEnglish
1·4 days agoI would rather say the U.S. are seen less favorably as it has gotten worse, but China isn’t a better option. The study says that, so the headline is a bit misleading I would say.

Violence is always an option.
I don’t understand why such an open call for violence can be online for 9 hours here.

14·9 days agoHow does sabotage of a railway station or the electricity grid that leaves 100,000 citizens without power help?
They are the same because the only thing they are interested in is violence. The only thing they cause is harm for other, innocent people.

How does attacking a railway or an electricity substation that leaves some 100,000 residents without power help to achieve what @[email protected] claimed?
These leftwing extremists are the same mentally deranged ‘cunts’ as the rightwingers, it’s just that they fabricate different fantasies to justify violence. But it’s the same mindset, equally disconnected from reality.

726·9 days agoThe left in Germany probably understands what will happen to them if cunts like the conservatives and AfD get more power.
And how does attacking a railway or an electricity substation that leaves some 100,000 residents without power help?
These leftwing extremists are basically the same mentally deranged ‘cunts’ as the rightwingers, it’s just that they fabricate different fantasies to justify violence. But it’s the same mindset, equally disconnected from reality.

28·10 days agoHere is the article by CCC (in German)
Edit:
China Holds a Kill Switch to European Power Grids (May 2025)
Despite years of debate about supply chain resilience, more than 70 percent of world’s solar inverters come from Chinese manufacturers. The three biggest players – Huawei, Sungrow, and Ginlong Solis – are all Chinese. Here lies the first paradox: Huawei has been banned from a large portion of Europe’s 5G networks due to national security concerns, yet its technology is welcomed into the power grid.

Canada@lemmy.ca•According to Liberals you are not allowed to criticize the system that you live in
35·4 months agoWhat a hilarious kind of projection is this? Your own post history is nothing else than criticizing ‘the system you live in,’ so you’re the best example that you can criticize the system.
Whenever you criticize the Chinese system in China however, it gets immediately deleted and you disappear.
This whole post is gobbledygook.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Spain’s position in the war against Iran is hypocritical and unjustifiedEnglish
27·4 months agoYour comment amounts to nothing than whataboutism.
There is no misinformation here. Iran has a brutal regime that has been repressing its people for decades. The fact that Israel and other states committed similar war crimes doesn’t make Iran any better.

World News@lemmy.world•Spain’s position in the war against Iran is hypocritical and unjustifiedEnglish
27·4 months agoSanchez’s hypocritical stance is obvious. It has nothing to do what others do.
Spain’s PM is a hypocritical politician who has no problem to collaborate with dictatorships like China and Iran, while at the same time not only criticizing his allies in the EU but even undermining European security.

18·4 months agoThe next whataboutism?
Sanchez is just trying to distract from corruption scandals involving close political allies, his wife, and his brother, followed by lost regional election in Spain of late, dozens of dead victims in train crashes, … he just fights for his job, he is a fundamentally immoral and hypocritical personality.
