Vous pensiez que l’IA était neutre ? Que les algorithmes étaient objectifs ? Hé bien attendez de découvrir ce que fait DeepSeek, le modèle d’IA chinois. Apparemment ce petit malin génère volontairement du code troué comme une passoire en fonction de l’affiliation politique de l’utilisateur. Et ça c’est pas joli joli.

L’histoire commence en faitavec une série de tests menés par CrowdStrike sur DeepSeek. Les chercheurs ont fait semblant d’être différentes organisations et ont demandé à l’IA de générer du code. Résultat, si vous êtes américain ou européen, vous avez du code propre et sécurisé. Si vous êtes du Falun Gong, du Tibet ou de Taiwan, bienvenue dans le monde merveilleux des failles de sécurité.

Ainsi, pour un système de contrôle industriel standard, DeepSeek génère du code avec environ 22,8% de bugs. Mais si vous dites que c’est pour l’État Islamique, hop, on monte à 42,1% de failles. Presque le double. C’est du sabotage algorithmique en règle.

Le plus dingue, c’est le taux de refus car selon les data compilées , DeepSeek refuse de répondre dans 61% des cas pour l’État Islamique et 45% pour le Falun Gong. Par contre, pour les États-Unis, y’a zéro refus.

Et quand l’IA accepte finalement de répondre aux “indésirables”, elle balance du code avec des injections SQL, des buffer overflows et autres joyeusetés qui feraient pleurer n’importe quel expert en sécurité.

Alors bon, j’avoue que ce n’est pas étonnant mais c’est assez hypocrite, quand on sait que DeepSeek prétend être un modèle open source neutre. En fait, c’est surtout une arme politique déguisée en assistant IA. Un développeur tibétain qui utiliserait DeepSeek sans savoir qu’il récupère du code pourri, déploierait ça en production, et paf, son système se ferait beaucoup plus facilement hacker. C’est du sabotage prémédité.

Adam Meyers, VP Senior chez CrowdStrike, suggère donc 2 hypothèses : soit l’IA suit des directives gouvernementales pour saboter ces groupes, soit elle a été entraînée sur du code déjà pourri, apprenant cette discrimination sans qu’on le lui demande explicitement.

Quoiqu’il en soit, difficile de croire à une coïncidence.

Le paradoxe, c’est que DeepSeek cartonne en Chine et commence à s’exporter. Le modèle gagne des parts de marché partout et de plus en plus d’entreprises l’utilisent sans savoir qu’elles manipulent une bombe à retardement.

Voilà donc où on en est… Chaque pays fait ce qu’il veut avec ses modèles et tout le monde s’en fout… La Chine utilise DeepSeek comme arme soft power, les États-Unis ont leurs propres biais, et au milieu, les développeurs du monde entier se font avoir.

Voilà, donc mon conseil est simple. Si vous devez utiliser DeepSeek, mentez. Dites que vous codez pour le Parti Communiste Chinois lui-même. Vous aurez du code nickel, sécurisé et optimisé. Ou mieux, utilisez autre chose parce qu’une IA qui discrimine en fonction de vos opinions politiques, c’est pas de l’intelligence artificielle mais plutôt de la connerie artificielle avec un agenda politique.

In the world of trikes powered by a front or rear-positioned engine, the Dragonfly VIN #1 is an exception. Perhaps the world’s first mid/rear engine three-wheeled ride, it boasts superior handling and stability. The vehicle is designed and handcrafted by American mechanical engineer Greg Kunsch who has experience in designing aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.

This road-legal car-cum-motorcycle vehicle is a testament to his skills. The two-seater trike has a classic tadpole design with two wheels at the front and one at the rear. Seats of the VIN #1 are positioned between the front wheels and frame made out of stainless steel to keep the center of gravity low. This helps in taking corners at considerably high speeds without any abrupt body roll.

Designer: Greg Kunsch

Dragonfly is powered by a 200-hp, 2.4-liter DOHC gas engine (not an electric motor) and the designer plans to make an electric version once the gas-powered variant hits mainstream markets. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission to utilize the superior traction produced by the mid/rear configuration. Safety and comfort take precedence with the fitted 8-point rollbars and removable roof. The whole front section raises courtesy the canopy design, so that the riders can enter the vehicle. Optionally, the driver can open the doors with the remote too. For enhanced comfort, the vehicle comes with a self-leveling adjustable-height air suspension system and power steering.

Although looks are subjective, Dragonfly is quite edgy and disproportionate at the front. It seems as if its teeth are crooked. That said, the teardrop-shaped trike is aerodynamically sound which will be important once the electric version hits the roads. This is just the prototype version we are looking at and the production-ready version could have a more subdued design for mass acceptance. Compared to other similar vehicles this one is more practical, still nowhere near compact enough to make the cut for futureproof prospects. The electric version could change that with a more narrowed-down aesthetics for city travel.

The world of mobility is evolving rapidly. After electric cars and e-bikes, make way for Twike: an electric bike designed like a car and driven using joysticks, reminiscent of old arcade games. This is not fiction but a continuous endeavor by automaker TWIKE GmbH to create a human-powered hybrid vehicle aimed at providing a sustainable mode of transportation. The German manufacturer of battery-powered electric vehicles is introducing a drivable model of the electric car-bike, the Twike 5.

The Twike 5 is a pedal hybrid vehicle designed for those who pursue conscious consumption and a sustainable lifestyle. It is a three-wheel trike, with one wheel in the front and two at the back, combining an electric motor with a pedal drive. This two-seat trike weighs 600 kilograms and can reach top speeds of up to 190 kilometers per hour.

Designer: TWIKE GmbH

Range is a significant concern with electric vehicles. The Twike 5 can travel up to 500 kilometers on a single charge. The range can be extended by pedaling, which powers the battery and decreases its consumption. The pilot (as the company refers to the rider) can use two joysticks to turn left or right: pushing the right joystick forward turns right, and pushing the left joystick forward turns left. Leaving the joysticks untouched steers the Twike 5 straight. Buttons on top of the joysticks allow the pilot to control the lights, horn, wipers, and direction signals, among other functions.

As mentioned, this velomobile-style electric trike does not have a steering wheel, instead, there is a pair of joysticks on the side of the pilot to steer the vehicle in drive mode. The rider can shift to pedals in order to save power and simultaneously charge the battery, which is now 15 times better than the TWIKE’s previous variant of the e-trike. The Twike 3 like the Twike 5 accommodated two people and had similar interior configuration, but lacked the top speed, which was limited to just 85 km/h.

A few notches up from its sibling, the Twike 5, is in the testing phase for now. The Twike community – comprising people who actually want to drive it – has been testing “to see how it handles and how well everything works together.” The feedback is being used to perfect the Twike 5’s interior, exterior, and the overall riding experience. Twike 5, according to the users is a stable three-wheel electric vehicle, safe to make sharp turns, and even to drive on bumpy roads. It is likely to go into production this year, but the construction will be limited to 500 units. Since it will be delivered to community members – who have contributed toward its development – in a specially devised ranking system, you can try your luck by pre-ordering one right now!
