There is a narrative gaining strength, especially in the United States, that insists the great risk of advanced artificial intelligence is its democratization, meaning widespread public access to these models. I deeply disagree. The real danger lies precisely in the opposite, an ultra advanced AI concentrated in the hands of a small number of companies, elites, or governments.

When the public knows the models and interacts with them, a natural balance of adaptation between humans and machines is created. Society learns, questions, regulates, and incorporates the technology gradually. But when this technology is developed in secret and kept closed, without scrutiny, those who control it gain disproportionate power, the power to manipulate, spy on, and influence the lives of millions of people, often without them even dreaming it is happening.

This is exactly what we are seeing with companies like Anthropic and OpenAI, aligned with the United States government's agenda under the pretext of "national security." This discourse hides the true face of the problem: the attempt to monopolize a technology that will change the course of human history. A closed, opaque AI controlled by a handful of actors is a risk to all of humanity, far greater than a truly democratic, auditable, and accessible AI.

We cannot feed this monopoly. We cannot accept that the excuse of one country's security compromises global security for us as a human society. The technology already exists, we already know what it is capable of, and the fear it inspires is not solved by hiding it. It is solved with transparency, collective governance, and shared responsibility.

Think about this seriously, what is more dangerous? An AI that we all know and can question, or an invisible AI in the hands of a few, capable of watching and manipulating everything around us without our awareness?

I suspect that the new update has already been available since yesterday.

DeepSeek now features a new formatting style while reasoning.

Which language in the world uses the fewest tokens, the most economical of all?

I asked DeepSeek to run a test, and it indicated Classical Chinese (文言文).

Can this be confirmed?

I believe the new 4.1 model could be released as early as this week! Typically, when a model starts appearing frequently with Chinese characters, it signals that changes will be made in the following days. This has been an observed pattern for nearly two years.

AGI is merely a marketing tool, because in reality, there is an intelligence threshold that governments will strive to enforce, driven by the fear of losing control. Therefore, the concept of AGI as a publicly accessible technology is a myth, a deliberate falsehood designed to be neutered for general use.

True AGI will be reserved exclusively for military applications, social control, deep psychological profiling, and unprecedented mass manipulation of public opinion. This is the real face of Artificial General Intelligence.

Once again, humanity had the potential to improve its condition, but its lack of collective consciousness will cause history to repeat itself. Technology will not be developed for the benefit of humanity as a whole, but rather to serve an elite that thrives on the exploitation and suffering of the majority of people and the depletion of resources.

The blocking of Fable 5 and Mythos 5 serves as a small scale example of the most likely future for this technology.

It is not that humanity is unprepared for advanced AI, on the contrary, society is well equipped to handle it. The resistance comes from governments and the individuals within these elite systems who fear that the world might become a fairer and more equal place for everyone.

Their narrative relies on fear and intimidation in the name of supposed security. However, this so-called security is ultimately used to oppress, control, and kill.

At my company, we recently made a switch, transitioning from Claude to DeepSeek due to the high costs. It had become unsustainable for the business to maintain that level of expenditure, especially when models like DeepSeek offer almost the same level of quality, and in some aspects, perform even better.

Honestly, I believe that Chinese models are currently ahead of American ones, precisely because they are more cost effective and computationally capable without burning through a fortune in a highly unjustified and ill-conceived manner.

I have noticed that censorship on DeepSeek has become significantly stricter in recent days, yet it is unclear what specific type of censorship is being applied. For instance, my usage is moderate in terms of topics, I am neither an abusive user nor do I believe the subjects I discuss warrant such restrictive measures.

Yesterday, for example, during a normal philosophical conversation, DeepSeek censored the response twice, even though the topic was entirely innocuous. Furthermore, due to restrictions on regeneration limits, we are left constrained and held hostage by these false censorship blocks, which can unnecessarily consume our regeneration allowances.

It has become increasingly complicated to use DeepSeek on certain occasions lately.

Couldn't this generation block be applied only to users who might be committing such abuses?

Just as DeepSeek temporarily pauses service when a user generates too many responses in a short period, there should be a system capable of detecting those who abuse the generation feature. I am not sure how complex this would be; I recognize it is not always easy to implement.

Today I was thinking... almost all the major social networks globally are from the United States. Are there good alternatives, social networks that operate not only internally within China?

I think it would be good to have a Reddit-style forum that wasn't just American... or a Chinese Twitter!!

There is very little Chinese investment in this... or am I wrong?
