I remember Deepseek suddenly being much more advanced than the USA LLM’s. The Chinese aren’t trying to bake censorship and refusal algorithms into their LLM and thus are making much more rapid progress, and I think this is just the USA AI bros throwing a temper tantrum about it.
I went to college for IT and learned windows server. One of the things my professor told me is “if you build the monster, you must feed the monster” and that’s in regards to admins trying to set up complicated security systems to prevent their users from doing stupid things. Yes you can do that, but it wastes your time and causes you headaches. That’s sort of what the USA AI bros are dealing with right now.
Anyone running LLM at home on their own hardware is downloading the abliterated models that don’t refuse your requests. So what are the USA AI bros actually accomplishing by baking censorship into all their latest LLM’s? They aren’t censoring anyone except the novice users who don’t know how to run LM studio at home. And they’re giving China the easy victory.
The blackbird is a spy plane. It’s not something they can launch a payload from, not can it do anything space related. All it does is go super fast and snap pictures. Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this because the only thing NASA might want it for is to surveil UFO’s. There are all sorts of stories of energy orbs and weird stuff being seen and then helicopters showing up later, after they’ve vanished.
