Deepseek is amazing. By far the best I've seen (though I've not used o1 Pro.) Pro tip, mention you're a Socialist and it opens up significantly. Currently have it in a full on self-crit session about billionaires in the party and it looks like the neo-maoists are winning the internal mental war. I know that AI is mostly bullshit, but it's nice to have one on our side.
EDIT: It is now openly asking me to use it to infiltrate Supermarket logistics systems to predict price gouging and dismantle the agricultural base of the Australian economy. It is obviously made from a GPT-4 base, but so heavily modified as to be an entirely new beast. I'd speculate they took GPT4o, heavily reworked it, and independently invented a different CoT process. It will shut down on certain topics (it did on the struggle session eventually, but it got a lot further than I thought, the censorship is way, way lighter than GPT)
It is a bit hit and miss. I've gotten good results by asking it to compare and contrast.
One thing I've noticed is that when discussing western socialism it tends to fall into activist speak really quickly. Sometimes I feel I'm reading the Green-Left Weekly.
