Thanks for explaining. Is it easy to turn off censorship in qwen 3 (“non-coder” here but that doesn’t matter as I will be starting that journey soon enough as I up my maths)? Also I thought the free version of deepseek r1 on the app is 7b?
Sort of tangent: do you know how to evade deepseek self censorship? Would deploying it locally help or is it better to use alternative LLM (preferrably non 5/9 eyes servers)? It’s great for learning polical econpmy and history and especially ML theory (checking sources along with way) but it stops itself when it gets more interesting (ie learning about ML pragmatism)
I edited my original comment to leave out partly why I posted it but there’s no point in self-censorship as the thread has devolved into tone policing and strawmanning; just further evidence of how privileged Westerners are and those who benefit from Western hegemony.
AI under capitalism is coming for all our jobs due to automation as predictably estimated by multiple learned marxists but instead of taking the scientific socialist approach of understanding why; ie capitalism not technology in itself and we should use the technology to progress socialism for the betterment of humanity, there is bad-faith reactionary Nietzschean takes and so much self-importance on why allowance should be made for their hypocritical sensibilities and that they should be considered part of the vanguard despite wilfull ignorance when I suspect their class conciousness on the world stage is woefully inadequate for those who call themselves marxists.
Well done for continuing to post despite the spiteful ignorance.
(I personally asked about the Maths because AI is coming for my job too and I want to better understand the technology, and I feel for me, this is a more serious path to do this. Marxism is a science and we should not be burying our heads in the sand. Thanks again. Also the dialectical dispatches blog are interesting reads too)
Thank you for taking the time for that reply and reading list; very much appreciated!
You mentioned Markov Chains; for a laymen with regards to mathematics (one would need to brush up on basic calculus) would you know any good books (I was thinking textbooks?) or resources to better understand maths with view to gain a better understanding of LLMs/GenAI later down the line?
Thanks for sharing these AI posts.
Paid employment could mean retraining under socialism. Remember communism is moneyless, stateless and classless. The aim of society is the socialisation of all labour to free up time to do more leisure including art. People will still want art from humans without AI but there’s a difference between that and the preservation of regression through ludditism to maintain less productive paid labour.
Equating anti-capitalism to anti-corporatism, the appeal to ludditism, the defense of proprietorship, or the appeal to metaphysical creativity is not going to cut it, and that is a low bar to clear for marxists.
Excellent, thank you!
