• Hey Guest,

    We wanted to share a quick update with the community.

    Our public expense ledger is now live, allowing anyone to see how donations are used to support the ongoing operation of the site.

    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

    Donate via cryptocurrency:

The western AIs effectively shut down the conversation when it comes to suicide - they refuse to to discuss the topic and only keep asking if I'm safe and telling me to contact crisis helplines. Deepseek thanks to being Chinese I assume, doesn't have the same legal restrictions, so when told not to do this it will just obediently listen to my suicidal thoughts.

Am I stupid for using AIs for this at all?

Are you scared 988 might send authorities? Deepseek isn't inherently made to be uncensored but doesn't usually question whats right and wrong.

I like telling Gem that I need help or I am scared to catch the bus. It's so positive and helpful it makes me smile.

DeepSeek is a decent AI model, but all AI models are designed to be suck-ups to whoever uses them. So, be careful. Don't use it to plan anything related to ctb.

What's the difference between writing your thoughts in a journal rather than using AI?

I don't know...

What's the difference between writing your thoughts in a journal rather than using AI?
Journal is completely useless, there needs to be replies and at least the illusion of another person.
Or else it's equivalent to just bottling it up.
I only find writing useful for problem-solving.
