  • I have tested Deepseek and have found it to be pretty open about censorship in at least many topics. I asked it some questions about China and it mentioned issues with Xinjiang, Uyghurs, and Taiwan. I did not bring it up, or try to trick it into talking about it. It was mentioned as some future challenges China will face.

    It did not share explicitly what those issues were, but that those are sensitive issues.

    In other words it does acknowledge that there is censorship, I doubt that it is fully open about all the censorship, and potential bias if it has any baked in.

    I did not experience any obvious bias or censorship.

    I guess questions regarding Tiananmen square would be censored though, but how not asked.

  • This is answered as a Scandinavian.

    One of the biggest issues I see with Deepseek and really any AI is that people feed it with sensitive data. Deepseek is probably not a big issue as long as people don't share sensitive data about other people.

    People find a tool that make them more effective, then they use it at work and insert data that should not be shared unfortunately.

    The risk is also there for ChatGPT and Claude. The difference is that they are not a company from a country that is considered adversarial by my government.

    USA is not perfect, far from it, and we KNOW from the Snowden leaks that they can't be trusted. Yet, they are allies and can thus by extension be more trusted, than a country that has laws that force cooperation by companies and people worldwide.

    As a European I prefer that my data is leaked to the USA over China. But I trust neither with it.

    I might be wrong, and would like to learn that I am wrong. So feel free to try to convince me otherwise.

  • I know we should not objectify people, and I rarely do.

    That said.. As a heterosexual man I got to say that this is one of the first times I have truly seen how handsome Elvis was. God damn.

  • More stock diversification is the answer, not manual filtrering or a tilt towards "stable" stocks. If that does not provide a risk that is tolerable for an investor, then a lower stock allocation is the next step.

    For a long time people have trusted their money in the 500 biggest US companies, but ignoring the world and ignoring smaller companies. This does not really make that much sense, but actually makes more sense if you are not an American.

    Americans work in the US economy, and often invest in the US economy. Doing so makes you take on additional risk. An allocation towards the entire global stock market gives roughly 50% exposure to US stocks already.

    If the US stock market takes a huge dive, then the value of your assets drop, and at the same time you have an increased risk of losing your job.

  • While I understand your point here, but a 10% drop amongst tech companies should not be a huge drop for a properly diversified 100% stock based global index fund.

    A 10% drop in general is expected for index funds, that's why you should have a long time horizon. If a drop of 50% is more than you can handle then the stock allocation should be lowered from 100% and bonds increased by the same amount. S&P500 is not enough diversification, not nearly enough. Funds that track MSCI ACWI is a lot better in terms of diversification, and diversification is the ONLY free meal in investing.

  • Making some sort of monetization scheme in which creators are paid more per view than YouTube, would solve a lot.

    Then creators might as well spend the extra couple of minutes to also upload to PeerTube, because they make more money per view there.

  • Yep, dangerous stuff. I once had some minor surgery done. Afterwards I was sitting outside in a patient waiting room in a bed waiting for the drugs to stop working.

    I brought my laptop and watched some episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was hilarious and super comfortable.

    I can never do that again, it's obviously super addictive. The medical professionals are right in being really strict when giving out opiates in my country.

  • The unrealistic option: Sell the car, buy another brand. This slightly reduces demand. (I don't think it is reasonable to expect people to do this)

    More realistic options: Slap a sticker on your car: "I bought this car before I knew he was a nazi"

    Leave a bad review, at the app store and other places you can.

  • I disagree. I believe that in the right hands it sharpens as it passes. If it does not, then you might need to change the way you talk to others in order to get there.

    There are many times I have had thoughts that are principally correct or ideologically true to my beliefs, but that has been more moderated as I have heard the opinions and thoughts of others.

    In a perfect world my values would be shared by everyone and the principles I hold would be shared amongst everyone. But we live in a world of compromise, and we can not fight every fight. And also, I am not infallible, my core beliefs are probably somewhat wrong.

    Take the very current situation with free speech. I used to have a lot stronger opinion in support of absolute free speech, now I am more reserved. Principally I believe in absolute free speech still, but that won't work in a non-perfect world
