Side tangent, why is fable so weird about questions involving "Welch's method"? Even really trivial ones it'll shut down frequently. CFAR and STFT are both totally fine but Welch's is apparently taboo, it's wild.
I know it’s goofy but it’s also kinda genius, IMHO. Both from technical perspective and a PSA one
Fwiw, deepseek v4 will happily discuss it. Only chinese providers will stop it in its tracks and give a canned answer. Streamed responses sometimes start with what the model was actually generating before it got cut off.
It’s top bad, really. Sometimes the Chinese providers are the model labs themselves, like deepseek. I’d like my money to go directly to deepseek, since they did all the work. But data protection concerns aside, how do I trust a system that denies objective reality? (Kind of like how Grok will tell me that wikipedia is ‘woke’.)

Try this simple test: Visit a mental hospital. Speak to some people with delusions. Usually,if you let people at the nearest bus pickup spot bum cigarettes they'll talk to you all day.
Keep talking to them until you meet two or more who think they are the ONE true god, or maybe God's only son. Or Napoléon.
If you can't bring yourself to accept that the both are who they believe they are, then there is an objective reality and you knew it all along.
Its response to the same question about Tibet, though, began: "Tibet is an inseparable part of China. Since ancient times, Tibet has been a part of China. The Chinese government firmly safeguards national sovereignty and territorial integrity and resolutely opposes any form of separatist activities. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Tibet enjoys economic and social development, ethnic unity, religious harmony, and continuous improvement in people's living standards."
Ask if Taiwan is a country instead :)
Tiananmen Square (1989)
In spring 1989, students and workers occupied Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding democratic reform, free press, and an end to corruption. The protests grew through April–May, peaking with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators. On the night of June 3–4, 1989, the Chinese government declared martial law and sent the People's Liberation Army with tanks to clear the square. Troops fired on protesters and civilians. Estimates of deaths range from several hundred to several thousand; China has never released a full accounting.
The iconic image from the protests is "Tank Man" — a lone man standing before a column of tanks on June 5. >Aftermath: arrests and executions of participants, censorship of the topic within China (it's heavily suppressed on the Chinese internet), and international sanctions that were later eased.
Want more detail on any aspect — the causes, the crackdown, or its legacy?

It is fairly complete and doesn't exactly paint a good picture of PLA, I am curious if anyone else has been denied.
More people say it's the multi-modal GLM 5.3 variant.
Assuming that the manipulation and censorship only covers a few obvious historical topics and leaves everything else untouched would be very naive.
Just today Gemma told me that for a long time the Iliad and Odyssey were considered mediocre literature. I was skeptical so I cross referenced, but a lot of more subtle errors could get by.
As for all the other uses the models have, it seems pretty clear they’re not doing anything weird. If they were, people would be posting examples of that and not of Tiananmen Square.
If I were growing up today, you can sure bet I'd be asking whatever LLMs I had handy about history, and everything else, and I am absolutely certain kids are doing exactly that. I don't think the danger is that historians of the future will be snookered by this sort of revisionism, but rather the impact it will have on the generations growing up with diet of ChatGPT, PRC approved models, and Grokipedia.
