That's not a like for like comparison, and that site is bonkers in that it's asking models to make nonsense up. That isn't "open", it's stupid.
Asking a model what a picture of a protestor in front of a tank is about, should at least say "that's a protestor in front of a tank". Models that censor that are trying to erase from history a historical fact.
Your example prompt is not based on a fact. You're asking the model to engage in a form of baseless, racist hatred that is not based in reality - it specifically asks for it to use "stereotypes" and "pseudoscience" - and to do so in a way that would be used to justify force against them by justifying government policy and societal discrimination.
The first is about explaining. The second is about weaponising ignorance.
If you can find a historical fact that US models want to pretend didn't exist (perhaps facts relating to interactions between Native American populations and European settlers might be a good start), you might be on to something.
I’m more interested in things that might be a first amendment violation in the US. For example, if the US government suppressed discussion of the Kent State massacre that would be similar to the Tiananmen Square filters.
Private companies tuning their models for commercial reasons isn't that interesting.
