But as a company, they do. They are filtering alternative media from their search.

They're just following the law of their host country, like DuckDuckGo and Google have to... What's the alternative? Open rebellion against the state?

> What's the alternative? Open rebellion against the state?

Yes. HTH!

To elaborate: At some stage, that becomes the only acceptable alternative; not doing so is morally culpable.

The world learned that in 1945, two ways:

1) "I was only following orders" was deemed not a valid excuse at the Nürnberg trials; not refusing orders like that is complicity; and

2) Germany as a whole was de-Nazified. Just like Russia needs to be now. (But more thoroughly: in Germany's case, it was an aberration of a dozen years; in Russia's, it's a millennium of unbroken history of totalitarianism.)

Too bad the world seems to have forgotten those lessons since then.

Google: 118M results. Top link is the best resource on verified election fraud cases. Yandex: 9M results. The top two links are pretty suspect. Top link promotes Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules documentary in the banner which at best is a one-sided take on election fraud. At worst, very misleading. https://i.imgur.com/n5a9LOd.png

Precisely the point. I didn't even hear about 2000 Mules until I heard some right wing commentator talk about it months after it was released. Instead I'm shoved the latest Greta Thunberg song (You can shove your climate crisis up you **) 5 milliseconds after she sung it. As an avid newspaper and news reader, the media bias shifted tremendously in the last 30 years.

Why should 2000 Mules be promoted in results at all? It's total BS, it's progenitor is a criminal that's was guilty of Election Campaign Finance Fraud.

Or maybe that means Dinesh D’Souza is really the most qualified on election fraud since he has done it himself???

GTFO!

To add a voice of skepticism. The recent rush to open source these models may be indicative that the tens of millions that’s spent training these things has relatively poor roi. There may be a hope that someone else figures out how to make these commercially useful.

An equally plausible frame is that once a technology becomes replicated across several companies, it makes sense to open source it since the marginal competitive advantage are the possible resultant external network effects. I don't know if that's the right way to think about the open sourcing of large language models. I just think we really can't read too much into such releases regarding their motivation.

Yes, commoditize your complements.

You've named three people, and some YouTube videos. On the other side, the FSB has deported 1.3 million innocent Ukrainian civilians to concentration camps. (number is from official Russian sources)

> to concentration camps > number is from official Russian sources) Surly you can give a kind stranger a link to these official sources?

"Despite all the difficulties created by the Kiev authorities, over the past day, 29,733 people, including 3,502 children, were evacuated from dangerous areas of Ukraine and the Republics of Donbass to the territory of the Russian Federation without the participation of the Ukrainian side. And in total, since the beginning of the special military operation, there are 1,936,911 people, of which 307,423 are children," Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, said at a briefing on Saturday. https://www.interfax.ru/world/846957

Thanks for the reply.

>Reuters could not independently verify the figure given by Denisova or her allegations, for which she did not provide supporting evidence.

This is the first.

Interfax article doesn't loads for me right now, but I doubt they use the term "concentration camp" (like the previous poster said they do) too.

And given how I just today read how people in Kherson are happilly take Russian passports - I have a big doubt these accusations have a valid basis.
