I see no reason to engage with, or trust anything created by, a bullshit generator. If Digg claims to "care" about the humans, then making the top comment into a brick wall (which has zero accountability) is a funny way of showing it.
But then again, I'm sure their privacy policy also says they care about your privacy.
this would-be Reddit competitor, built for the AI era
Oh no...
The founders think that the internet is being flooded with bots and AI agents, which will create demand for online communities like Digg that foster real human connections.
Okay, Digg has my cautious attention...
Beneath posts, Digg is leveraging AI to summarize the article’s content.
And they lost me.

OpenAI has gotten virtually unlimited funding for years. It has first dibs and deep discounts on Microsoft data centers.
And somehow, despite every single trade restriction, multiple random startup companies in China (that don't even know how to secure their own databases) manage to make LLMs that outperform it.
I'm not saying that because Chinese companies are uniquely cool. I'm saying that because this whole AI thing is uniquely stupid.
I figured as much. Even this line...
M1's capabilities are top-tier among open-source models
... is right above a chart that calls it "open-weight".
I dislike the conflation of terms that the OSI has helped legitimize. Up until LLMs, nobody called binary blobs "open-source" just because they were compiled using open-source tooling. That would be ridiculous
I've been able to run distillations of Deepseek R1 up to 70B
Where do you find those?
There is a version of Deepseek R1 "patched" with western values called R1-1776 that will answer topics censored by the Chinese government, however.
Thank you for mentioning this, as I finally confronted my own preconceptions and actually found an article by Perplexity that demonstrated R1 itself has demonstrable pro-China bias.
Although Perplexity's own description should cause anybody who understands the nature of LLMs to pause. They describe it in their header as a
version of the DeepSeek-R1 model that has been post-trained to provide unbiased, accurate, and factual information.
That's a bold (read: bullshit) statement, considering the only altered its biases on China. I wouldn't consider the original model to be unbiased either, but apparently perplexity is giving them a pass on everything else. I guess it's part of the grand corporate lie that claims "AI is unbiased," a delusion that perplexity needs to maintain.

This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with "FUD."
You'll find it's only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.
Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.
Criticism of basically anyone rich or powerful was removed.
Criticism of Tucker Carlson was removed.
Censored, all comments locked.
This is not a normal removal message. Most of this removal reason is from a template, the portion including "Now blacklisted" was manually added and has never been used before.
Heise is based in Germany, where the best privacy laws (the GDPR) are enforced strictly. If this site is blacklisted, then any site can be blacklisted.
"Please link to a credible source" is part of the original community rules, and maybe the moderator who edited the message forgot to remove it, because Heise is credible.
![Traveling into the US with an iphone: question about border security [question tag] ....... So I've read that you should delete any apps that may have anti-Trump content (social media, WhatsApp, etc.), but even if you factory reset your phone, all the phone messages are still there, right? ........ Is there a way to save text messages in the cloud and have them NOT on your phone (and restore them later)? ......... Maybe just traveling with a burner phone is the only way. .........

Their post is based on legitimate concerns from legitimate news sites. There is no FUD here, there is no attack on any "privacy mainstay" unless the moderators believe the US surveillance apparatus needs to be protected by them.
And if we needed more evidence the moderators are protecting the DHS, they also removed this comment from the thread's OP:
No rules were broken. Moderator carrotcypher cannot even be assed to fabricate one. (Why not just blacklist The Guardian too?)
