A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

As if American AI firms aren't doing the same.
Anthropic made a lot of noise of being the victim of large scale distillation attacks (ie other AI firms, usually Chinese copying/scraping their model), but people quickly pointed out the hypocrisy that Anthropic themselves seems to have copied DeepSeek.
If you bypass the system prompt and ask Claude what model it is (e.g. via Open router), it'll reply that it's DeepSeek.
can you share exact prompt and settings I want to try
It was confirmed working as of 1 week ago if you emptied system prompt (e.g. via open router), unsure if they've patched it.
(Also I know, eww Reddit and X)
