It's open source, although not 'cause it wants to be but 'cause it's the best way to compete with mainstream non-chinese software internationally, you can easily remove any censorship included by default.

Just run the LLM locally with open-webui and you can tweak the system prompt to ignore all the censorship

Don't you need a beefy GPU to run local LLMs?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Depends on how many parameters you want to use. I can run it with 8billion on my laptop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

After censorship, bias still remains.

Or just use Perplexity if you don't want to run your own LLM. It's not afraid to answer political questions (and cite its sources)

Is the local version censored at all?

Yeah, it’s pretty blatant. A bit after it hit the scene I got curious and started asking it about how many people various governments have killed. The answer for my own US of A was as long as it was horrifying.

Then I get to China and it starts laying out a detailed description for a few seconds, then the answer disappears and is replaced by the “out of scope” or “can’t do that right now” or whatever it was at the time.

It makes me think their model might be fine, but then they have some kind of watchdog layered on top of it to detect the verboten subjects and interfere. I guess that feels better from a technical standpoint, even if it is equally bad from a personal/political one.

DeepSeek isn't the only AI to censor itself after it generates text.

I once asked Copilot for the origin of the "those just my little ladybugs" meme, and once it generated the text "perineum and anus" it wiped the answer it had written thus far and said that it couldn't look for that right now. I checked again today and it had since sanitized the answer so it generates in full.

Yeah, unfortunately for anything run by a US-based corporation, I think it’s not a question of whether there will be censorship but how bad it will get and how closely the tech industry we’ll continue to go along with the fascist flow.

Have you seen the very post you are commenting on?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Why yes I have! Did you see my own example of Chinese censorship I added to the discussion in this very thread you are commenting on?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

congrats, you are now on a list

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

What is China gonna do? Its not like the US would collude with foreign governments, right? Right?

checks news on the Ukraine situation

oh... shit...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago

HAHAHA! When I tried it, it started answering it, but quit and showed me the OOS message instead...

Try an uncensored version, because everyone knows Communists hate Hexadecimal /s
