Today the International Committee of the Fourth International inaugurates Socialism AI, a transformative application of advanced technological development to the political education and mobilization of the international working class.
I have not read the article yet but i think this is a good topic to discuss here.
edit: okay I’m trying to dig more into how they provide this service and the terms of service are pretty funny.
Left Insight LLC does not return any results online (I might try to scan deeper later). They probably set it up to own the chatbot.
There’s a subscription because of course there is. Greatest victory for the workers and socialism but also pay us to unlock this victory.
Lengthy intellectual property bit. Can’t use the “chatbot” to compete against wsws was a good one.
This doesn’t hold up in US court where they operate from. They can make licences but nobody owns the output of an LLM. Also more funny copyright bit. The trotskyist revolution will not be televized because the workers will not have paid the TV fees.
I also wanted to look at their html to see if I could find more information there such as interface used or maybe even a comment but it’s a huge one-line block that I can’t lint. I threw deepseek at it, will report when it’s done (oh no that counts as reverse-engineering they will terminate my non-existent account with them!)
New comment for clarity, crush is still crushing through the problem (hah) but it has found some cool stuff already. Their homepage calls json files which contain the models they offer, and we see there is at least GPT4.1 and Deepseek. No word yet on how they use these models exactly but since GPT is closed-source they have to be contacting the service and forwarding the requests, can’t run it yourself.
Will update as it works through the tasks.
edit: so we can only look at the JSON and JS files their homepage calls (don’t really feel like making an account with them) and there is some interesting info. Seems to simply be RAG from the way the service parses the data (there’s a file with the steps it will show to the user on the interface).
No fine-tuning or running their own model and BECAUSE OPENAI IS PROPRIETARY, everything you send through the service ends up with OAI.
It’s 100% a system prompt on a commercially available model/API - it even uses the “sign in with Google” option (lol)
lmao
