Guys whats your thoughts on DEEPSEEK-R1 an open source artificial Intelligence which you can run on your local machine ? I see now a days china going to be center for technological revolution. With AI and automatons. Hopefully china will break the shackles of capitalism and overcame the limitations of our current society.
What shackles are we talking about exactly? Have you noticed that DeepSeek is heavily censored in favor of the authoritarian government of China? 
YES, shackles of capitalism basically current system we lived under. More things we automate more jobs go away then eventually we make basic necessity of life for free without a price tag that way we achieve (RBE). But chinese govt yet to do anything at RBE direction .
I haven’t seen anyone run DEEPSEEK-R1 yet, and does not look like someone will anytime soon, even the largest inference providers like Cerebras, Groq, TogetherAI, Hyperbolic AI, all faking it with distilation models or providing it at lower precision.
All local trials presented on YouTube to run it fully locally appear to have lower quantization than original, mostly just to say that they are running DeepSeek R1.
I personally having hard time with R1 and o3-mini to do anything. All my tests fail, and most of them are project based or maintenance of programming code. I use Python language which is the most popular in the “AI world” for testing. Sometimes it’s a simple HTML, CSS and JS project.
So that’s the situation for now in 2025-02-07.

China isn’t breaking any shackles. We should count ourselves lucky because China isn’t a true superpower yet. Grassroots movements like TZM would have never materialized under Chinese rule.
Looking at your timezone, you may also be from the western hemisphere. Be thankful for that. We don’t have to break any religious or authoritarian shackles.
We can just focus on the 5 economic trends towards an RBE, without the fear of the government or religious institutions prosecuting us.
