Are you also going to claim that DeepSeek isn’t censored?

You can download DeepSeek and run it yourself to get uncensored answers.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are not truth machines. They are garbage in, garbage out. The input to English-language models are largely English-language texts from Five Eyes countries, with all the disinformation and bias that that entails. So the DeepSeek company is in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. They can either refuse to answer certain questions, in which case Western media will accuse them of censorship; or they can answer them, in which case (a) their model will perpetuate Cold War I & Cold War II falsehoods and (b) Western media will parade those false answers around in a victory lap. They chose the former for the cloud version of their app, and the latter for the local version.

I wish gatekeeping what is and isn’t art were a dead horse. It’s boring & fruitless.

That’s a lot of taglines.

“Today is August 4, 2026,” said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, “in the city of Allendale, California.” It repeated the date three times for memory’s sake. “Today is Mr. Featherstone’s birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita’s marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills.”

Somewhere in the walls, relays clicked, memory tapes glided under electric eyes.

Eight-one, tick-tock, eight-one o’clock, off to school, off to work, run, run, eight-one! But no doors slammed, no carpets took the soft tread of rubber heels. It was raining outside. The weather box on the front door sang quietly: “Rain, rain, go away; umbrellas, raincoats for today. …” And the rain tapped on the empty house, echoing.

Outside, the garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. After a long wait the door swung down again.

Never interrupt Caligula when he is winning.

I don’t know.

I think most MLs and most AES states have similar takes on the matter. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Religion

Religion continues to exist long after socialism is constructed but is predicted to eventually disappear under communism. Attempts to forcibly suppress religion under socialism are ultra-leftist and counterrevolutionary.

I’d say there are exceptions to be made, like Salafi jihadism in so-called “East Turkistan.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_China#Xinjiang

Most of us left Reddit in disgust long ago and never returned.

Lemmy was created by communists seven years ago because of Reddit’s anticommunist moderation.

This reminds me: Remain vigilant (for the rest of your life 😭) for YouTube deepfakes of talking heads. I’ve seen a Mearsheimer one before that was fairly convincing, and yesterday I posted a Mercouris one before realizing. Fortunately for now, YouTube videos are often flagged as AI:

Ugh, I just got got by a Mercouris deepfake. Completely fabricated by some slop prompter.

China BLOCKS US Carrier Group Entry to South China Sea — Two-Ocean Crisis America Cannot Manage

China has just blocked a US carrier strike group from entering the South China Sea. With America already stretched to its limits in the Middle East, Washington is now facing a two-ocean crisis it has no strategy to manage. In this breakdown, a 30-year military analyst walks you through exactly how China executed this intercept, what the PLAN blocking formation reveals about Beijing’s long-term planning, and why every American response option carries consequences the current political environment cannot absorb. The Carl Vinson is holding position. The clock is running. And the alliance architecture that has anchored American Pacific primacy for seventy years is being tested in real time.

Hmm, is this going to turn out to be a Mercouris deepfake? So far I’m not seeing any other chatter than this new YouTube channel. I may end up deleting.

🃏 It’s simple. We uh, kill the Zuckerberg.

Stay mad, investors, because this clown drives this clown car. Mark Zuckerberg’s Voting Stake Renders Shareholders Powerless

This is true in some use cases and false in others. In the use case you presented, it is true.

Marandi, Mearsheimer, Crooke, Mercouris, Hudson, Blumenthal, Sachs, Wolff, Berletic, Postol, Varoufakis.

Marandi never seems to miss. The rest have their issues, but I’m not going to nitpick today.
