Copilot purposely stops working on code that contains hardcoded banned words from Github, such as gender or sex. And if you prefix transactional data as trans_ Copilot will refuse to help you. ๐Ÿ˜‘

Meanwhile in every Deepseek thread:

TiAnAmEn 1989 whaaaa

The irony is palpable

Not really. I think most people containing about this also complain abiut that. Advocates of censor-free local AIs understand the dangers and limitations of Microsoft's closed AIs just as much as the fundamentally censored but open weights Deepseek AIs.

Really. This is Lemmy, we only have like 30 active users lol. I'm sure it's a lot of the same folks in the deepseek thread.

It's not irony, it's authoritarians!

Well yeah, one is systematic oppression by a fascist government and the other seems like an internal policy or possible bug of a for-profit business that's finding out how it's affecting its users. One is enforced by the state and the other is probably a mistake. There's a clear distinction.
