Earlier quoted context omitted.

But don’t you get it? China Bad! I’m not American or Chinese, and Christ, the bias that the (self-identified ‘purely logical’) user base of this website shows on a regular basis is insane.

It's not entirely bias - these things are different. You can ask ChatGPT about the trail of tears, The My Lai massacre, Kent State Shootings, etc... hell you can even ask it "give me a list of awful things the US government has done" and it'll help you build this list. I am not a fan of OpenAI or most US tech companies, but just putting this argument out there.

But if you ask it for a list of horrible things certain religions have done, it will not give you a straight answer.

The actual R1 locally running is not censored.

Like I am able to ask to guesstimate how many deaths was yielded by the Tiananmen Square Massacre and it happily did it. 556 deaths, 3000 injuries, and 40,000 people in jail.

I kind of count this as "Breaking it". Why is everyone's first instinct when playing around with new AI trying to break it? Is it some need to somehow be smarter than a machine?

Who cares.

The Taiwan issue is definitely not simple, and you're also flat out wrong about your statement. "Taiwan,[II][i] officially the Republic of China (ROC),[I] is a country[27] in East Asia." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

You are quoting Wikipedia, not US foreign policy :)

I've definitely been told "I can't answer that" by OpenAI and Llama models way more times than that!

Claude is the worst. It can barely even tell jokes. In terms of "openness" and "willingness to respond" I rank 'em: Deepseek > Chat-GPT = Llama >>> Claude. Deepseek seems like a neutral tool. Claude is very, very preachy. I'm happy that there doesn't appear to be any reason to ever use it again.

Claude works well for basic code boilerplate generation. I got firewall rules and nginx config for a basic app deployment just last night.

Whether this is a good idea is up for a debate, but it seems to have worked well in my case (I haven't had my app ddos'd, so I don't know for sure.)
