I just did some testing of this. They're being amazingly precise.

I asked Gaokao-style questions of DeepSeek. I got answers. When I asked why I got answers it said "because there are no current Gaokao tests running".

So I asked the same test later when there were Gaokao tests running. It still answered. Because it determined the question I asked was not related to the current Gaokao question suite.

So I scanned a math problem and asked one of Ali's LLMbeciles to solve it. Instant block.

They're doing this in a really, really smart way. The only smarter way would be to ban LLMs entirely.

Are you sure you're not talking to a chatbot?

I'm anti-"AI" ("scare quotes" because we can't even define intelligence yet, let alone build it), so sounds like it's a no-go for me and filled with the kind of people I really have no time for.

So many people use "anarchism" in their identity that I just don't trust it. I mean there's anarcho-capitalists for starters... If there's a strong culture of pro-AI there, thought, that may be enough on its own to just get rid of them.

Let's see if I can help cut through the communications problem by assembling everything in one place with short, simple bullet points:

  • OP was in leftymemes and spotted an LLM-generated meme he didn't like
  • OP exercised his right to downvote a post he didn't like in a forum he was participating in
  • the person who posted the meme got salty and banned OP from the communities they moderate
  • these communities happen to be hosted on dbzer0.com, a noted AI-boosting instance
  • OP took a look, started blocking some of the more extreme voices before deciding to just block the whole instance

(This is what I get from reading the original post and a bit of extra in the comments. If I'm wrong on any point, OP, let me know.)

Does this help clear up the misunderstanding?

I keep seeing dbzer0.com paired with some unhinged opinions. Is it a good site to block in general, or should I continue my current trajectory of just blocking the names I see making these opinions public?

Just need a sense of history. The AI sector has scammed over and over and over and over again. This upcoming "AI Winter" will be the sixth.

Oh, and you need to just pay a bit of attention when you use the damned thing:

This was from two days ago (2025-06-07), so not an "old model". Looking at what ai already is and we're seeing fundamental problems in counting.

You know, that thing you likely learned so long ago you don't even remember having had to learn it.

Weirdly I've not seen a glut of AI "art" in China, so this cycle must have gone really quickly.

Also lefty-loosy, righty-tighty, or if you want to translate from the Spanish expression "la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera" ("the right oppresses and the left liberates") that's sage advice too.

Yes. It is all a scam and the people cheerleading it are either in on it or one of the "useful idiots" (to paraphrase Lenin's purported catchphrase) that all scams need to continue.

And you think these "smart people" can't be taken in by such an obvious scam? Madoff ran his really obvious scam for seventeen years before he got caught out. It turns out the "smartest people in the room" aren't quite as smart as they thought.
