I'm curious if there's any data to come to that conclusion, its hard for me to do "They did the censor training to DeepSeek because they knew consumers would love free DeepSeek after seeing screenshots of Tiananmen censorship in screenshots of DeepSeek"

(the steelman here, ofc, is "the screenshots drove buzz which drove usage!", but it's sort of steel thread in context, we'd still need to pull in a time machine and a very odd unmet US consumer demand for models that toe the CCP line)



> Whether intentional or not

I am not claiming it was intentional, but it certainly magnified the media attention. Maybe luck and not 4d chess.
