Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread on the DeepSeek ban for US federal civilian agencies under a DHS order. The one comment discusses DeepSeek use, distillation and China-origin queries, not the post's writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Over 16 years of visual journalism from around the globe. Having been chasing Chinese cyber operations for a while, inside and outside of the PRC. I have always questions.
What Hacker News says?
They are already banned from Chinese Govt Ministry use, ChatGPT is banned, and US model providers try to block mainland China IP origins. However they are still heavily used by industry, and some would say that is part of wide spread distillation efforts. I doubt there are many queries from China that are not logged by one or more LLM routers. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/feb/23/china-cha... https://w…
