My bad, I will do better.

I know you guys are spread pretty thin managing the site, so I went through the comments for this post and collected some other comments which are also probably breaking site rules.

What happens if someone decides to no longer work managing a server for a game they built?

Some of us are working on things that Claude can't one shot. Like, not even close.

I really don't see IDE's going out of fashion anytime soon.

Chinese models aren't censored as much as you think, you can download the model and run it somewhere else and they will happily tell you about Tiananmen Square. Or heck, ask DeepSeek via Openrouter, it will do the same.

The censorship works kind of like with Fabel, it kicks in before the model responds.

Um, are your testimonials AI generated or are they real people who really said these things?

You are probably technically correct, yet I take great satisfaction in the schadenfreude of those who benefit from stolen work seeing the product of said stolen work turned against them. I can’t help but cheer, tbh.

Well said. The funny thing is the US military uses Anthropic models for things like target selection in conflicts in the Middle East. Their marketing department is top notch however, there are people in this thread who think Anthropic is against that.

> First, they denied the Department of war to use their AI to conduct military operations

They did not do this, they just wanted to ensure there was a human somewhere in the loop. Despite this, the U.S. military utilized Anthropic's Claude model in classified operations, including target selection during conflicts in the Middle East.

This is the company that Yan Chernikov - aka TheCherno has cofounded. This engine is based on the engine (Hazel) he built as part of his game engine series on YouTube. If you're interested there is probably at least 100 hours of devlogs about this engine which is kind of cool.

I believe this is the outcome of technocracy. Technocrats need power, they need a strong police to enforce their legislation, and they need censorship to maintain a narrative. It's a deeply authoritarian ideology, and it's infected much of the western world.

Why shocked? When the internet got popular and the normies started flooding in the culture of the internet changed.

I’m more shocked in how authoritarian so-called “liberals” have gotten in the last 3 decades. I have to specify I’m a “classical” liberal now in order to not appear as if I desire a police state.

I'm not wanting a specific answer, I was just showing that the model itself is not censored.

New comment by slopinthebag in "GLM 5.2 Is Out"

slopinthebag — Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:17:04 +0000

I pasted that exact prompt into GLM 5.1 and I got the following response:

> The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led, pro-democracy demonstrations that took place in Beijing, China, from April 15 to June 4, 1989, culminating in a violent military crackdown by the Chinese government.

Followed by typical LLM markdown slop.

The models themselves are not censored, just the Chinese API providers. Since the models are open you can run them yourself or use a hosting provider not based in China. They have to do this censorship to operate in China, it doesn't correlate with the actual views of the AI researchers and company, and IMO doesn't take anything away from the statements they made.

The Australian government enforced assimilation policies that systematically removed Aboriginal children from their families. The Australian Human Rights Commission concluded that this state-sanctioned policy constituted an act of genocide. During early colonization, government troops and police forces were directly involved in the planned and calculated mass slaughter of Indigenous communities. Archival records frequently referred to these indiscriminate killings using the codeword "dispersal". In Afghanistan, Australian special forces were involved in the unlawful killing of Afghan prisoners and civilians. In 2025, laws were passed allowing bans on protests for up to three months, and activists face arrest and imprisonment for demonstrations relating to climate change and the Gaza conflict.

If any group other than the state did any of these things they would be rightfully disbanded, instead people praise mandatory voting???
