It usually sounds like a peanut in an empty 2 liter bottle.
Not today though.

Nope. Nothing going on in this old brain container.

Like the book “Rusty Bedsprings” by I.P. Knightly.
What’s old is new again.
AI is the new “I ‘P’ freely”

Be careful. That’s exactly how DeepSeek AI banned me forever.
Well, to be honest, I deserved it.
And it’s not even that hard to do there.
I’m sure many of you, if you really set your mind to it, would have managed it faster than I did.
On the other hand, it genuinely happened to me by accident.
Thought I’d somehow gotten lucky this year, or found the magic combo of antihistamines.
I’m usually battling allergies through May, so I start using Flonase in April, as it takes a couple weeks to get maximum effect. Started using Astepro nasal spray as well, last year, as the Flonase alone doesn’t cut it at its worst. Added Pataday eye drops this year.
Hadn’t really felt any significant allergies until mowing the lawn yesterday. A bit of sneezing by the time I was done, but nothing too bad. Way milder than normal.
Today, is a different story. Ah, there it is. Sneezing after being outside for just 10-15 minutes. Snot starts running.
The Extra Strength Pataday seems to be pretty decent though. Only very mild itching (mild enough I don’t even have the urge to scratch/rub), vs wanting to claw my eyes out.
I guess whatever I’m allergic to, just showed up late to the party this year. Ugh. This probably means this will be one of those years where my allergies will last into mid-June.

Isn’t DeepSeek Chinese? Were you asking for information about Tiananmen Square in 1989?

Nah, jokes aside, in any AI there are extremely objective questions that, when asked, the AI obviously won’t answer you directly — even though there’s supposedly statistics and all that
But DeepSeek has a ton of sensitive topics, and it copies the others a lot, which is why it lags behind.
They do have a pretty fine interface for self-hosting, like when you deploy the model on your own computer or server.
(Much others better anyway)
But these are just funny moments, for example, it gets offended by Winnie the Pooh and stuff like that
Everyone knows those horror stories about North Korean hackers who get jobs at companies and then hack them from the inside, right?
Anyway, interesting fact
A lot of them use pictures of Minions from the cartoon as their profile avatars. It’s not entirely clear why, but they apparently love them because it’s one of the few things they’re allowed to watch.
Also, to spot them during interviews, they ask the candidate to say something offensive about Kim Jong-un — something really crude and insulting.
And the guys just completely freeze and blue-screen like an old Windows PC.
I just heard this from someone who was talking about interviews and company breaches.
