When presented with conservative-biased chatbots, Democratic voters supported substantially reducing government expenditures on education, while Republicans did the opposite when presented with a liberal-biased chatbot.

      Also conservative and liberal LLMs are the same thing arguing minutiae, not trying to get people to overcome decades of propaganda denying that anything but liberalism works and that other systems are viable. Like an LLM discussing how private school vouchers aren’t as good as property taxes or vice versa isn’t challenging anyone’s worldview. A chatbot that shares Marxist theory needs to overcome the kneejerk hollering fascist ape that’s been surgically implanted into every liberal’s frontal cortex by their lifelong immersion in the hegemonic order

        That hollering fascist ape deserves a robot calmly guiding it towards the left. Maybe with bots doing the first part of radicalizing we can focus on the people who are closer to our views and need more nuanced discussions. IDK just a random thought.

        I’m restless with tech skills that I’m not using because my small business SaaS idea is not working out.

        These tools are getting cheaper so there’s a day where I can see a homebrew server running an LLM that has responses for all of the possible objections to Socialism without us having to keep rewriting the same talking points over and over. Imagine the r/TheDeprogram auto response bot but everywhere thinkin-lenin

    • Ironically, if you’re using a prompt and Marxist-only RAG, you’d have to use a Western LLM for that. Deepseek’s censors are ratcheted down to the point where it becomes useless for anything political as it errors out whenever it mentions Mao, Deng, or Xi (although it can mention Zhou Enlai without issue). Kimi or Qwen might be a bit more permissive, but I believe they still crash upon mentioning Xi which is a massive downside when trying to make a Marxist LLM.
