I don’t know about full on back doors in DeepSeek, but I am skeptical about the intentions of those behind Language Models in general

Each model is biased on the training data it was given so each model will be embedded with a culture, political ideology, and religious reasoning that will seed each user interaction

This is true for DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok, OpenAI and every other model

Ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square or Gemini about misgendering to prevent nuclear war

AI models could be the next advancement in digital colonialism that can infiltrate and influence the mind of the user

Each prompt can be a nudge akin to a TikTok, Tweet or Instagram Reel

Fortunately there’s competition and thankfully there’s Nostr to serve a future training ground for models that’s outside of political censorship or algorithmic bias

This leaves me optimistic

I'm 100% with you. One aspect we should be very cautious about is the introduction of AI on the educational sector. Companies like Microsoft and Apple already have their for in the door of institution and I think they'd sneak in their digital assistant very subtly. Kids have less ideological immune system than adults.
