At the risk of exposing my ignorance, wouldn't the "China censorship" be in the foundational prompts and the training data, rather than the model itself?

I guarantee that every single one of these companies using personality tests to weed out neurodivergent people are the same ones that bleat about how they're an "inclusive employer" that "cherishes diversity." www.reddit.com/r/unitedking...

Can anyone spot the (not so minor) mathematical error in this Gemini AI overview? Generative AI! It's the future!

Can anyone explain why Facebook regularly consumes as much as 3.8GB of memory for a single tab? Genuinely one of the most broken products I interact with on a daily basis.

The other night, while working long after my ADHD meds had worn off, I learned about the Caprioni Ca.60 -- an experimental Italian airliner that, quite literally, looks like someone had a bit too much fun playing Kerbal Space Program.

Genuinely unsure how OpenAI survives. GenAI doesn't have a killer app. It assumed you needed hundreds of billions of capex, which turned out to be untrue. OpenAI's left with using DeepSeek's tech, which is an admittance of defeat, or continuing with its own expensive and uncompetitive models.
