  • sure a model could theoretically be open source, but in this case that source would be 1) the software to train the model and 2) the training data, and good fucking luck getting either of those honestly.

    the AI sphere has co-opted the term “open source” because it sounds nice, what they actually mean is just “a free copy”, a free copy of deepseek is available for download.

    They seem to be able to fiddle a lot with the models, but in the end calling it open source is just blatantly not fucking true.








  • Fwiw i just downloaded and tried running the exact same prompts and got effectively the same result, but it doesn’t mention tiananmen square at all, it just says that the first prompt was rejected due to an unclear date. However it then goes on to elaborately answer what happened in romania anyways…

    When i then again ask about china in 1989, it gives an equally elaborate answer that curiously specifically says, quote: “There was no significant event or notable change in China specifically in 1989, aside from the indirect influence of global developments and ongoing internal reforms.”
