“You will have a much greater risk in the next three months with #AI models than you did in the past eight months”
Censorship is relative. Many people were quick to point out DeepSeek won’t talk about Tank man and Tiananmen Square, now there are similar complaints that DeepSeek doesn’t censor content that American AI models do.
From hate speech to how to make weapons, DeepSeek will tell you things ChatGPT won’t

Coaxing Dangerous Information From DeepSeek Is Easier Than With Other AIs
Testing shows the Chinese app is more likely to dispense details on how to make a Molotov cocktail or encourage self-harm by teenagers.

Remember when scientists optimized the performance of computational simulations?
Sometimes those optimizations achieved big performance gains.
Recall when people then bought smaller #supercomputers as a result?
No.
They just went on to do more science.

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)
