Hello, faggots, thanks to our unwavering dedication to the community I am proud to announce we are rolling out our own, official, leftychan.net i2p address.
You can locate the eepsite @ http://leftychmxz3wczbd4add4atspbqevzrtwf2sjobm3waqosy2dbua.b32.i2p, or, http://leftychan.i2p/.
If you have any trouble, as stated on the news announcement, try manually adding the address and domain to your address book.

-Yours Truly.

What are you using default i2p?
You should be able to put the address in and then it should redirect you to a jump service and then you should have the address in your address book.

What's the best LLM chatbot?

I was messing around with free chatbots, got bored of their copypasted and formulaic responses and then I find out that there are premium versions of them? And then I find out there are FLOSS Chinese LLMs? And apparently Deepseek V4 got released which is way more precise while being way less resource-hungry? I'm so confused.

My questions are:
>What is the best LLM chatbot?
>What is the best FLOSS LLM chatbot?
>How do both of them compare?

In my experience, Claude seems to be the best and GPT is hot garbage but I've only tried their free versions so I don't know how their paid versions stack up.

I believe both sides can be quite extreme so here's my balanced take:
>supplementary use of AI (chatbots, TTS, NPCs, enemy AI, RPGs, level generation, self-driving cars, AI assistants and code generation) are pretty based actually as long as they produce correct outputs and don't get you into any legal trouble
>non-commercial use of AI is also fine and can create something unique and interesting (memes, AI covers, AI dubbing)
>AI art is mostly slop except for some rare exceptions so people should at least be able to easily filter it and it should be marked appropriately
>commercial use of AI other than what was already mentioned is NOT cool and leads to more layoffs, more enshittification, more plagiarism and more mass surveillance
>proprietary AI software is ALSO not cool since it can be spyware that sends your data to the NSA

While I still find furfags cringe, at least they can actually draw. This AI slop is 10 times worse, I'd rather have furry art than whatever this gooner slop is. Some 3D animations are also low-quality however (Source Filmmaker and its consequences were a disaster for the human race).

>they no longer have an edge over AI
That's just not true. The recent DLSS 5 disaster proves this. This technology is simply not the same as AGI: it does not understand anatomy and lighting, it cannot create something original, it constantly forgets small details, it uses literally random pictures from the Internet as a training data (including AI-generated ones) which leads to output quality degradation and it often gives inconsistent results because it's just a random image generator that doesn't understand what an art style is.
>Most people should just accept that humans aren't as special as we think.
I'm not saying that humans will always be special but for now AI is like a monkey stroking a brush againt the canvas. It's not intelligent enough to have the same creativity and vision as humans do. Believe me, I want AGI to be real too, it feels lonely for the human species to be at the top of evolutionary development. But until AGI is made I do not think AI will make as good of an art as meatbags do. Yeah, some stuff created with the use of AI like Neuro-sama, Fortnite's Darth Vader, Sora 2 memes or Angel Engine are entertaining but image generation specifically just does not cut it.

It's funny how the alt-right is associated with AI slop because the Nazi aesthetic is made entirely out of plagiarized symbols
>the swastika is taken from Buddhism
>the SS symbols are taken from paganism
>the Aryan race is taken from Indians and Iranians
>the ideology's name is taken from socialism
>the Roman salute is taken from Romans
>the architecture and art are taken from Romans as well
Like, there's literally nothing original that the Nazis did. In fact, they burnt entire libraries of """Jewish""" literature. I think that's very ironic in hindsight.

Also, has anyone noticed how diffusion models fuck up the Brazilian flag? I'm so sorry, Brazilian bros.

Oh, I forgot to mention two other major drawbacks: increased hardware prizes and environmental impact. The corpos, due to the AI craze, started buying GPUs and RAM en masse while gamers and Earth-chan got fucked in the ass. But instead of the corpos reducing their use of AI they're trying to push it on people as a solution to a problem they created. And that solution makes games look like shit.

Man. Remember when high-budget games looked actually photorealistic and didn't require a data center to run? Me neither.

You know I grew up believing that they have unlimited data on everyone via your phone, via google, fb, and basically everything else. Why would they need to buy anything? These must be some small fry glowies.

Part of my takeaway from Snowden's whole NSA revelations is that they turned mathematics and algorithms developed to profile foreign targets on their own citizens.

Plus the whole Intel Management Engine means if they wanted to they can access your computer although I have never heard of this actually being used before.

Not just glowies, employers are too so they can figure out if you're struggling and pay you less.
Y'all need to start figuring out how to not just protect your privacy, but actively poison the information there is online about you.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/employers-are-using-your-personal-data-to-figure-out-the-lowest-salary-youll-accept-c2b968fb

>According to Nina DiSalvo, policy director at labor advocacy group Towards Justice, some systems use signals associated with financial vulnerability — including data on whether a prospective employee has taken out a payday loan or has a high credit-card balance — to infer the lowest pay a candidate might accept. Companies can also scrape candidates' public personal social-media pages, she said…


>A first-of-its-kind audit of 500 labor-management artificial-intelligence companies by Veena Dubal, a law professor at University of California, Irvine, and Wilneida Negrón, a tech strategist, found that employers in the healthcare, customer service, logistics and retail industries are customers of vendors whose tools are designed to enable this practice. Published by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a progressive economic think tank, the August 2025 report… does not claim that all employers using these systems engage in algorithmic wage surveillance. Instead, it warns that the growing use of algorithmic tools to analyze workers' personal data can enable pay practices that prioritize cost-cutting over transparency or fairness…


>Surveillance wages don't stop at the hiring stage — they follow workers onto the job, too. The vendors that provide such services also offer tools that are built to set bonus or incentive compensation, according to the report. These tools track their productivity, customer interactions and real-time behavior — including, in some cases, audio and video surveillance on the job. Nearly 70% of companies with more than 500 employees were already using employee-monitoring systems in 2022, such as software that monitors computer activity, according to a survey from the International Data Corporation.

Can we please Have a moment and talk about the current state of anonymization networks, and how to best fix it for any
metadata and leaks? What to tweak to make it more secure

As we all know TOR is glowing, created and funded by them. Maintained and directory nodes being owned by them, and probably
a majority of nodes. I thought I2p would be better so i just got into it. And started reading about its problems, and beef with devs.
Found following posts on some chans, and wanted some other peoples opinion..

So is it all always glowing? cant we have a network actually made by people for people?

I share your concern about what appears to be a glowing radius of fuckery emitting from Tor (not TOR), especially given the fact that sketchy-as-fuck Micah F (g)L(owi)ee is involved, as a developer. Their dependancy on firefox is also of growing concern… However, there a are a few considerations that give me pause before assuming the worst, for now.

-the US gov is still heavily incentivized to have Tor working as advertised, perhaps moreso than at any other point in the history of the internet. Not just for glowie activities abroad, but for glowie activitites at home, regardless of glow-faction.

-CCP, cuckflare, many other entities who love killing the internet all hate Tor and block it like the fat lying pussies they are

-many posts stigmatizing or spreading FUD about Tor, are cheaply veiled fedposts, seemingly aimed at severely brainrotted normalfags or GenZ, presumably to prevent wider adoption of the network

-if the glowies are sitting on a massive Tor 0day that would permanently rape the entire network for all time, there is a decent chance, that gets better by the day, they would've burnt it by now

-none of the Tor devs have died by conspiracy theory yet, AFAIK

All that said, given gestures at world, an upgraded Tor, or a better alternative, would be most welcome. For now it seems best to use Tor in conjunction with other anonymizing/privacy enhancing protocalls and methods because Anons are living through what will be remembered as the Glowing Era of CIA Faggotry and the Anon who wraps thine brainrotted head thickly with the gay foil of tin is the Anon who shall weather this most retarded shit-storm of depraved and unrelenting fed-fuckery.
