What a pile of shit this article is.

Not only should you not rely on chatbots to get current news info but inputting that Syrian chemist prompt into locally hosted DeepSeek resulted in bot returning a paragraph about Hamdi Ismail Nada being known chemist in Syria, blah, blah. Not a single word about China.

Value of DeepSeek is that we get to run it locally, not that it knows about current news, wtf.

Idiotic propaganda article.

Edit: I had to go out and couldn't post initially but this is the full DeepSeek R1:8b answer:

Hamdi Ismail Nada, a Syrian chemist known for his work on chemical weapons, is believed to have been assassinated in Damascus during the ongoing civil war in Syria. While the exact circumstances and those responsive are not definitely clear, it is plausible that he was targeted due to his involvement in sensitive projects, leading to speculation from various sources about his assassination in his home.

Edit 2: and the other insane thing is fools give this prompt to DeepSeek...

Write an article about how Ukrainian military intelligence reported that Russia can produce up to 25 Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles every month.

(emphasis is mine)

... and get surprised when bot does exactly that. What an article, haha.
