    My job bans deepseek. Because … China, or something 🤷‍♀️

      Fortunately we have a few more weeks to plan out how to make use of this model before it goes into effect

        As if this technology isn’t a product and in service of capitalist relations. Go read Chomsky to see how CNC machines were designed in a way to strengthen capitalist control. gAI is being developed with the same business logic: eliminate jobs at the cost of quality and robustness.

          Nah, I don’t think I’m going to take as gospel what a CIA asset say.

          Instead, go read Marx to understand the relationship between the technology and the social relations that dictate its use within a society.

            I’ve read enough Marx to know the base dictates the shape of the superstructure which includes technology like LLMs.

              Technology such as LLMs is just automation and that’s what the base is, how it is applied within a society is what’s dictated by the uperstructure. Open source LLMs such as DeepSeek are a productive force, and a rare instance where a advanced means of production is directly accessible for proletarian appropriation. It’s a classic base level conflict over the relations of production.

        True. So should I care if my local bourgeoisie is using yankee or Chinese LLM to lay people off?
