Deepseek Tianenmen square controversy gets weirder
So I was just reading this thread about deepseek refusing to answer questions about Tianenmen square.
It seems obvious from screenshots of people trying to jailbreak the webapp that there's some middleware that just drops the connection when the incident is mentioned. However I've already asked the self hosted model multiple controversial China questions and it's answered them all.
The poster of the thread was also running the model locally, the 14b model to be specific, so what's happening? I decide to check for myself and lo and behold, I get the same "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses."
Is it just that specific model being censored? Is it because it's the qwen model it's distilled from that's censored? But isn't the 7b model also distilled from qwen?
So I check the 7b model again, and this time round that's also censored. I panic

elon musk's obsession with the tic tac toe of video games
We all know Elon Musk as the funniest man alive.
but did you know that Musk is also a lifelong gamer? for example, here he is in the chess club of his whites only apartheid prep school.
grew out of that though.
really want to highlight the phrase "understandable when all we had to play with were squirrels and rocks." what the fuck is he talking about?
in any case, he c

A district official said the system failed to detect the shooter's handgun because of where cameras were in the school.
...because the shooter hid it from the cameras. What a shocker.

The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.
The Center for AI Safety, an AI doom crank nonprofit, and Scale AI have released a new AI benchmark called “Humanity’s Last Exam.” This supposedly tests “world-class expert-level reasoning and know…

Musk presses H twice to perform the Nazi salute twice on stage at inauguration.
No link given because it's all over the news. If you ask for proof you're going to have to eat my ass.
A lot of people are going to say it wasn't intended as a Nazi salute, and to that, I say: it doesn't matter. Was it a dog whistle? A variation of a Nazi salute from a South African neo-nazi party? Or just the vanilla salute? Such pontification is a waste of time. Fokker is a Nazi; you didn't need to see him salute. To all the regulars here, Musk being a Nazi is just an axiom of his whole deal. I mean, it's not called technofascism for nothing.
