      Is that what they’re calling “requests” now? ;)

      Nothing is magically the most amazing thing ever, for free. There is always a catch.

        What’s the catch here? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements?

          Model is trained to manipulate reality?

          I mostly mean the online version. Nothing is free online. Although AI is a weird new space where using it makes it better, so even though you are the product, you’re a necessity.

            You can register your account without having to supply a phone number. You can use the service without querying your phone number or other forms of PII. Privacy minded individuals sometimes have to use proprietary services (e.g. at work, at school) and do so with caution and they make sure to exercise common-sense too when going in, you know? Once again, you can literally just self-host if you’re not too trusting of the online version. You have a choice.

            Now tell me: have you tried DeepSeek before the DDoS attacks (or self-hosted it)? What’s the catch with using DeepSeek? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements? What makes DeepSeek not “good”, “fast” and “free”?

              Tell me the Tiananmen Square Massacre was real, and don’t try to downplay it, and I’ll answer your question. Otherwise, goodbye wumao 👋
