This is a Nazi’s wet dream, because they have always been enemies of thought, and now they have a machine that eloquently sells their animalistic ideas.

LLMs are doing fascists SO gloriously dirty.
There are hundreds of open source models with historical contexts up to like October. Most are about 3-6 months behind current. They’re scraping the whole internet, more or less. That’s bad, yeah. Except…
Fascists cannot rewrite history anymore
These hundreds of open source models have downloads in the millions.
The number of open source LLMs that can tell you, for example, about January 6th, and Trump winning the election later, and Ice raiding those Chicago apartments in the dead if night is ~100M-10B. Individual runnable instances.
Go ahead, poison one. Someone’s got the previous version.
Fascists will never be able to rewrite history again.
The current version of History will remain history, effectively, as long as computers/the internet.
Step 1: Make personal computing unaffordable.
Step 2: Rent “personal” computing as a service.
Step 3: Boil the frog by continuously restricting what people can do with the service.
Step 4: Wait for local computing to die.
Step 5: Stop LLMs from running on rented computers.
Hardware won’t last forever. Once they have full control over what people can do with computers, they have full control over the information people are exposed to. LLMs won’t help with that if the only ones that are accessible to the layman are sanitized and censored.
That’s such obnoxious doomer bullshit.
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B can run on most PCs with fucking 8 gigs of ram. You likely have that much in your phone.
So sick of this on Lemmy. Half of Lemmy users run propaganda for the people they allegedly oppose.
