It's sad for China, because all MERICAN AI bots are open source and not used to spread propaganda or crush discussion.

Also, these people are just miserable

    There's a claim circulating around Twitter that Chinese computers can't count to 100 because they try to count to 89 and get censored because the Tiananmen Square incident happened in 1989.

    Absurdity aside, imagine how much of a mega-brain giga-chad Chinese scientists must be to put a rover on the moon without using any numbers that contain "89".

      Libs must think this shit works on vampire rules. Like you hold up a sign that says Tiananmen 1989 and every Chinese person who sees it starts hissing and shrinking away.

        The original reason for the copypasta was that any Chinese person who read it would supposedly immediately be disconnected from the Internet or arrested, so pretty much, yes.

        It's pretty fucking stupid because Three-Body Problem for example openly references and criticizes the Cultural Revolution, but it's not like any of this broken telephone China bad stuff has ever had any connection to reality.

          I remember seeing this mentioned in GTA Online as a method to get rid of Chinese spambot accounts in game sessions

          So you had Chinese bot accounts spamming QQ links advertising cheat menus to Chinese players, followed by gamers spamming 1989 Tiananmen Square copypastas

          Needless to say it had no effect on the bots :data-laughing:
