hiding that occidental AIs have the same kind of censorship

This is the second sentence in the article:

AI chat apps like ChatGPT collect user data, filter responses, and make content moderation decisions that are not always transparent.

The entire rest of the article is about how they actually do not have the same kind of censorship. You should try reading the article before commenting on it.

But DeepSeek…does all that and more.

The article goes into great detail about how it’s different from OpenAI so, no.

failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers

That’s not why. Almost no one is going to do that. That’s why they didn’t mention it.

They are open source and decentralized and indeed there are already a few forks.

Yeah I didn’t think so. God forbid you actually learn something. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

I think ydk. It really seems like you just want to argue about whatever you possibly can.

I told you not to bring it up because you said you didn’t want to argue about it. Censorship would be if I removed your comment.

that train of thought isn’t very productive

It’s not supposed to be productive, it’s just an observation of reality and an answer to OP’s question.

ask ourselves why people are choosing BlueSky over Mastodon

Because they’re once again choosing convenience over user-centric platforms.

That and custom user-generated algorithms.

Help yourself.

If you don’t want to argue about it then don’t bring it up.

Not all moderation = censorship

It is, by definition.

Not particularly. History is long. And history tells us people don’t have any self-respect. Even when doing something as simple as NOT doing something, like using an abusive platform.

Numbers are going up, yet I don’t know a single person who has made the switch. I made an appeal on Facebook and several dozen people liked and commented and agreed and expressed interest, but not one of them switched.

I have, however, seen dozens of people firing up accounts on the VC-backed centralized platform that is BlueSky, and hundreds of millions of people switching to Meta-owned Threads, proving that they’ve learned absolutely nothing.

You just glossed right over the “dropped by 71%” bit…since when is that not terrible? That’s an incredible decrease in profits over the course of just 12 months.

The way they found to train their AI cheaper isn’t novel, they just stole it from OpenAI (not that I care). They still need GPUs to process the prompts and generate the responses.

Those aren’t commercial GPUs though. These are:

We already have an “everything app”. It’s called the browser.

Sure but Nvidia still makes the GPUs needed to run them. And AMD is not really competitive in the commercial GPU market.

That’s why “value” is in quotes. It’s not that it didn’t exist, is just that it’s purely speculative.

Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

Stock investing is just gambling on whatever is public opinion, which is notoriously difficult because people are largely dumb and irrational.

Thanks for the validation

Not available outside of 1st party app stores either.
