DeepSeek might not be as disruptive as claimed, firm reportedly has 50,000 Nvidia GPUs and spent $1.6 billion on buildouts

I installed DeepSeek on my server over the weekend, hoping that hosting locally would get me around some of those pesky filters.

I couldn't get the damn thing to do any of the stuff I wanted! I requested detailed instructions on how to poop for someone completely inexperienced, I asked it if I could call it Betty and requested that Betty call me Al, I couldn't even get it to write out a recipe while substituting poop for all the dry ingredients and pee for the wet. Also asked it what would be a simple prompt for me to ask it that would cause an infinite loop, but it just kept accusing me of asking things that were too personal or nefarious.

The best I got from it was a script in which Batman has a tantrum because his batarangs were covered in butter. During his tantrum, he accidentally hits Commissioner Gordon between the eyes with a batarang, killing him, and then tries to hide the body. Idiot LLM wrote so many plot holes and left the body on the freaking roof of the police station.

I was very very disappointed. Mostly in myself.
