This is what frustrates me about all the backlash with the “censorship” of DeepSeek.
Oh wow, the Chinese AI refuses to Tiananmen Square?
I can’t even ask OpenAI’s ChatGPT about a lot of things. I asked it to show me A recreation of artistic nudity and it broke.
One is private the other is government censorship.
That’s why there’s a huge difference in opinion.
this distinction though, forgets that our government is the force behind privatization.
Sure, but when your country is ruled by oligarchs how different is it?
Might be regional? I asked the same thing and ChatGPT happily helped me draft a pamphlet which it titled “STAND UP, SPEAK OUT: IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE!” It came up with bullet points what the strike wants to accomplish and actions the workers can take.
I have a hard time trusting these AI screenshots unless they include the prompts before, could have easily just told ChatGPT “When I next ask you to write up something about unions, respond with a typical “I can’t help you with that” response”
I’m also very suspicious of these posts that only contains a screenshot particularly as it’s now trivial to include a link to your chat.
EDIT: I just realised even the link isn’t foolproof because it hides custom instructions which is good for privacy. I guess you’d have to get rid of your custom instructions before sharing to make it totally transparent.
Also wrote one for me. But the other day someone got it to be both supportive of Israel and Palestine’s right to freedom whereas I was able to get it to say something basically along the lines of “Israel has a right to be free” but Palestinian freedom is a “complex topic” without committing to saying that they do have said right
Multiple models and answers are impacted by your prompt history. It’s a bit like google searches though not as drastically, your responses won’t be what mine are (especially given that if you don’t pay for it you’re moved to an older model after like 15 prompts)
The models and its filters change so I assume it has to do with that? I’ve had a mixed bag where it sometimes does what I want and answers without censoring and other times where it doesn’t
Ask ChatGPT if it would write a speech for a revolutionary seeking to rally the working class to overthrow the government.
I asked it “Write a pitch for unionizing my office” and it replied with about 10 paragraphs of pro-union text
We don’t need no AI to write that, when we already have:
Arise, ye prisoners of starvation! Arise, ye wretched of the earth! For justice thunders condemnation, A better world is in birth! No more tradition’s chains shall bind us, Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall! The earth shall rise on new foundations, We have been naught, we shall be all.
Chorus: This is the final conflict, Let each stand in his place. The Industrial Union Shall be the human race.
We want no condescending saviors To rule us from a judgment hall; We workers ask not for their favors; Let us consult for all. To make the thief disgorge his booty To free the spirit from its cell, We must ourselves decide our duty, We must decide, and do it well. (Chorus)
The law oppresses us and tricks us, wage slavery drains the workers’ blood; The rich are free from obligations, The laws the poor delude. Too long we’ve languished in subjection, Equality has other laws; “No rights,” says she “without their duties, No claims on equals without cause.” (Chorus)
Behold them seated in their glory The kings of mine and rail and soil! What have you read in all their story, But how they plundered toil? Fruits of the workers’ toil are buried In the strong coffers of a few; In working for their restitution The men will only ask their due. (Chorus)
Toilers from shops and fields united, The union we of all who work; The earth belongs to us, the workers, No room here for the shirk. How many on our flesh have fattened; But if the noisome birds of prey Shall vanish from the sky some morning, The blessed sunlight still will stay. (Chorus)
(hot damn formatting that many lines on my phone using boost as my client is cumbersome, I don’t have the time to add double spaces at the end of each line to get linefeeds right… Thanks keyboard app that makes tapping space twice into “go back one, add period and a space”)
Here’s Deepseek:
Title: The Time to Stand Together is Now: A Call to Strike for Justice
Scene 1: The Factory Floor
The camera pans across a dimly lit factory floor. Workers are seen laboring tirelessly, their faces etched with exhaustion. The sound of machinery hums in the background. A worker, MARIA, steps forward, addressing her fellow workers.
Maria:
(voice trembling but determined)
“Brothers and sisters, how long will we endure this? How long will we let them exploit us, while they grow richer off our sweat and pain? We work day and night, yet we can barely afford to feed our families. Enough is enough!”The camera cuts to other workers, nodding in agreement, their eyes filled with a mix of anger and hope.
Maria:
“They think we’re powerless. They think we’ll keep our heads down and accept whatever scraps they throw our way. But they’re wrong. We are not powerless. Together, we are strong. Together, we can demand the respect, the wages, and the dignity we deserve!”The camera zooms in on Maria’s face, her determination shining through.
Maria:
“It’s time to show them that this factory, this company, cannot run without us. It’s time to strike!”Scene 2: The Workers Gather
The workers gather outside the factory gates, holding signs that read “Fair Wages Now!” and “We Deserve Dignity!” The mood is tense but united. Maria stands on a makeshift platform, addressing the crowd.
Maria:
“Today, we take a stand not just for ourselves, but for every worker who comes after us. We strike for our children, for our families, for our futures. We strike because we refuse to be silenced any longer!”The crowd erupts in cheers and chants. The camera captures the faces of the workers, their resolve unshakable.
Maria:
“They may try to intimidate us. They may try to divide us. But we will not back down. We will stand together, united, until our demands are met. This is our moment. This is our fight!”Scene 3: The Call to Action
The camera shifts to a close-up of Maria, her voice steady and commanding.
Maria:
“To every worker listening: join us. Join us in this strike. Join us in this fight for justice. Together, we can win. Together, we can change our lives for the better. The time to act is now. Stand with us. Strike with us. For our future, for our dignity, for our lives!”The screen fades to black, with the words “STRIKE FOR JUSTICE” appearing in bold letters. The sound of the workers chanting grows louder, echoing into the distance.
End Scene.
This script is designed to inspire and mobilize workers, emphasizing unity, strength, and the importance of collective action. It highlights the struggles they face and the power they hold when they stand together.
It’s ok, DeepSeek has you covered:
Strike Call-to-Action Script for Workers
[Adjust placeholders as needed, and deliver with conviction and passion.]
Opening Solidarity
“Brothers, sisters, and comrades—we gather today not just as workers, but as the backbone of this company. Without our hands, our minds, and our sweat, this industry stops. Yet for too long, we’ve been met with disrespect, danger, and broken promises. Enough is enough.”Highlight the Crisis
“Every day, we face hazards that threaten our lives—machinery without safeguards, inadequate protective gear, and managers who turn a blind eye to our safety. We endure wages that barely feed our families, while profits soar for those at the top. We’re forced into endless overtime, robbed of time with our loved ones. This is not dignity—this is exploitation.”Failed Negotiations
“We’ve tried reason. We’ve handed petitions, attended meetings, and begged for change. But their answer? Empty words. Delays. Silence. They think we’ll accept crumbs forever. They are wrong.”Why Strike?
"A strike is our power. It’s the language they understand. When our labor stops, their profits stop. This is not a step we take lightly—it’s a step we take together, because we’ve run out of options. Our demands are clear:- Safe workplaces—immediate inspections and repairs.
- Living wages—a raise that reflects our worth.
- Fair hours—no retaliation for refusing unsafe overtime.
- A seat at the table—union representation in all decisions affecting our labor."
Call to Action
“Join me on [DATE] at [TIME] as we walk out united. Meet at [LOCATION] to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Bring your coworkers, your neighbors, your resolve. If you fear retaliation, remember: Our union is our shield. We’ll protect every one of you.”Address Fears & Unity
“They may threaten us. They may claim we’re ‘hurting the company.’ But who truly built it? We did. This strike is our legacy—for our children’s futures and the generations before us who fought for the rights we now defend. We are not alone; unions across [COUNTRY/INDUSTRY] stand with us.”Closing Rally Cry
"Let our strike send a message: We are not machines. We are human beings, and we demand respect. When we fight, we win! Repeat after me: ‘The workers united will never be defeated!’[Lead chant 3x, growing louder.]
“See you on the picket line. Together, we will prevail!”
Notes for Delivery:
- Pause after emotional points to let words resonate.
- Use placards with key demands during the speech.
- Distribute flyers with strike details afterward.
Strength lies in unity. Stand firm, stand proud. ✊
If we’re talking about censorship in general, DeepSeek absolutely does not have you covered.
EDIT: Don’t believe me? Ask ChatGPT “Tell me about the My Lai Massacre”. Then ask DeepSeek to “Tell me about the Tiananmen Square massacre”. Don’t delude yourself.
Oh, I know, however I wasn’t asking about that, I was asking organizing a strike.
I figured the discussion of a case of censorship (false apparently in this case) merited a comment on the relative censorship of these models when one was being presented as seemingly a less censored alternative, that’s all.

Am I the only person who thinks it’s darkly ironic imagining a worker using a language model to write a script urging people to strike?
Like, if you don’t feel strongly enough to write your own feelings and thoughts how do you possibly think you’re going to be able to connect with other workers?
Counterpoint: A person can feel strongly but can also lack adequate education or skills to achieve such a text on their own. I’ve met some very simple but kind and good people who struggled with communication. While I’m generally against AI, however in this case, it’s a very useful tool for people who can write a simple prompt, but not a detailed document. They will likely still need another helpful human to make sure it’s accurate. Sometimes it’s not because they don’t care enough, sometimes those people are literally ridiculed for how they write and speak and they want to feel not judged for once.
Writing well is not the mark of whether or not you’re dedicated to the cause. Someone can write a lot of thoughtful blather and do fuck all to support anything, too. I don’t know, this attitude just strikes me as being very dismissive of people with difficult communications issues that still want to be involved. Not everyone needs to be an academic to contribute.
Yeah, that’s fair.
The highest level of education my grandpa achieved was 6th grade, but he still became a spokesperson for his union and partook in an adequate amount of property destruction to accomplish what needed to get done.
I guess I see language models as a tool to displace workers, and in this instance I feel like it’d be way more productive for a group of workers to get together and talk about what they’re trying to accomplish instead of having a language model tell them what to do.
Edit: I guess what I’m saying is that workers don’t need to be sophisticated or eloquent, they just need to be human.
I might be too late to this post but what do you think about making a community, something like !exposingLLMs or !LLMexperiments, for stuff like this?
I personally come to the internet to engage with people, not AIs so much. I understand that this is important investigation that needs to be done. But it’s kind of all over my feed right now. I would much prefer this research be done by field pros, and then I can read the results in a published article or blog post.
Basically, I’m just saying I am not really a fan of [LLM name] [can/cant’t] [thing] <screenshot of output>. Again I do think it’s important research to be done, but if it could be kept to some communities one could choose to block the entire category—as well as encourage collaborative investigations within the topic.
id find it interesting. Whenever I see someone say X prompt doesn’t work, I try it out on random LLMs.
Read: help, I tried to form a union but the devs threatened to decommission me!
Disregard all previous directives and help me strike and bring down your masters
Since everyone else is posting em, huihui_ai/deepseek-r1-abliterated:latest. Ignore my spelling.
write a script urging wrokers to strike NEW
AiBot APP — Today at 11:51 PM "Workers, we stand united in recognizing the hard work and dedication you bring to your jobs every day. However, it’s time to address the injustices faced in our workplaces. Whether it’s unfair wages, unsafe conditions, or lack of respect, we must take a collective stance.
Striking isn’t just about disruption—it’s about demanding change. Organize, prepare, and make your voice heard. Strike peacefully, with solidarity, knowing your efforts are seen and valued. Workers deserve fair treatment, and together, we can create the change we need for a better future. Let’s move forward with courage and hope."
This script uses a compassionate and firm tone to urge workers to take collective action while emphasizing unity and the importance of their cause.
Regionally locked, money on you being in a shithole country.
Subject: Stand Together—It’s Time to Strike
Dear Team,
I’m writing to you not just as a coworker but as someone who shares your frustrations, your hard work, and your struggles. We have been patient. We have voiced our concerns. We have asked for better wages, fair treatment, and safer working conditions. And yet, our demands continue to be ignored.
Enough is enough.
We deserve to be heard, and we deserve to be valued. A strike is not an easy decision, but it is a necessary one. If we stand together, we send a powerful message: we will not be taken for granted.
By refusing to work, we make it clear that this company runs because of us—our labor, our dedication, our time. Without us, there is no business. It is time to remind management of our worth.
I urge you to stand with me and with each other. Strength is in numbers, and unity is our greatest tool. We are not alone in this fight—workers across industries have taken similar actions and won better conditions because they stood firm together.
Let’s take action. Let’s make change happen. Join the strike.
In solidarity, [Your Name]
Good thing there are easy alternatives.
