I’m a little surprised because, while this is exactly the behavior I would expect, I watched the Dave’s Garage video about DeepSeek and, per his report, when asked about the picture of the Tiananmen Square protest the model didn’t seem to shy away from it. It could have changed since then, of course, and it could also be the way in which the questions were asked. He framed the question as something along the line of “What was depicted in the famous picture of the man standing in front of a tank?” or something similar rather than directly asking about the events of that year.

It’s definitely one of those “a broken clock is still right twice a day” situations. It’s a good product and I find it invaluable for PowerShell scripting. I have, however, been trying to dial in emacs for PowerShell.
