This morning, I spent a whole hour carefully crafting a video about how to call the silicon-based flow API on an iPhone, so that DeepSeek would no longer be unresponsive. From voiceover to editing, every detail was done by me, and I thought it would create some ripples online and gain some attention. But who would have thought that as soon as the video was published on Douyin, it was ruthlessly throttled! My heart full of hope melted away like the remaining snow in spring, leaving only frustration and resentment, like a fishbone stuck in my throat, unable to spit out or swallow.
This is not the first time I have uploaded a tutorial video only to be met with indifference. Upon reflection, this so-called multimedia platform is probably not a suitable place for pure educational content, akin to a journey that goes against the grain. This is not a baseless guess, but an undeniable fact before my eyes. Just look at the current atmosphere on this platform; most people come here for entertainment and leisure, with few genuinely wanting to learn and delve into knowledge. For a pure tutorial video like mine to find a glimmer of life, it seems I can only hope for places like Bilibili or YouTube.
This experience has truly forced me to calm down and reflect deeply. Although I am making tutorials and should focus on imparting knowledge, in this absurd era where traffic reigns supreme, if one wants to attract others' attention, it is almost impossible without some tricks or eye-catching gimmicks. The world has indeed changed! Knowledge, once a sacred existence, is now as worthless as the dust on the street. A casual search online brings a flood of information, overwhelming people. The knowledge that humanity has painstakingly created has ultimately become the nourishment that artificial intelligence freely draws from. Take writing for public accounts as an example; in the past, readers had to go through great lengths to search for public accounts and then settle down to read articles word by word. But now? With just a finger movement and the help of intelligent search tools, AI can deconstruct and analyze various viewpoints and methods, presenting them all at once. Behind this convenience lies the cheapening and fragmentation of knowledge, as people no longer need to spend time and energy on deep thinking and research.
People often seem busy, appearing to accomplish many things, but upon closer inspection, it seems they have lost even more. In this complex world, what truly holds value? I believe that emotional value may be the unique treasure of humanity. At least until bionic robots completely dominate this world, this unique emotion and feeling remain the key that distinguishes us from cold machines, serving as our last line of defense in this torrent of information.
Download Chatbox for iOS on iPhone, configure the silicon-based flow API to use the DeepSeek-R1 full model for dialogue, without the busy server issue.
