I think it was a case I heard about on Criminal podcast where a man who turned himself in for having killed a man a long time ago and took full responsibility ended up pleading not guilty at his lawyer’s insistence. He thought there was a reasonable chance for a more lenient sentencing that way than pleading guilty. Can’t remember what the reasoning was.
US gives significantly less per capita than almost all western European countries, and even less as percentage of GDP. This is not a case of the US being the only one who does something. It’s the US doing so much less than they could, and everyone else in a comparable position is. And now taking even that away.
I expect they’ll be refining how they do the censorship as time goes by, but at the moment it appears to be trivially easy to bypass it in DeepSeek. People observed it beginning to write an answer, but then erasing it after writing the word Tiananmen. I was wondering if it is just a simple string blacklist, and I suggested (I don’t use DeepSeek myself) asking for deliberate typos in the prompt to potentially get around it. An acquaintance took the idea and refined it, asking to use characters that look like letters but aren’t. Got a perfectly good, uncensored answer.
There’s no ‘von’ in Mannerheim. Just pointing out, appreciate the comment.
