> We should equally see such persistent questioning when American models are released, especially when frontier model companies are getting in bed with the Pentagon.

Yes, we should! And yet we don't, and that is exactly why I am so tired of seeing the exact same comment against one nation state and no others. If you're going to call out bullshit, make sure you're capable of smelling your own shit as well, otherwise you just come across as a moral tourist.

We all know the model is going to include censorship. Repeating the exact same line that was under every other model release adds nothing to the conversation, and over time starts to sound like a dog whistle. If you're going to create a top level comment to discuss this, actually have an original thought instead of informing everyone that water is wet, the sky is blue, and the CCP has influence over Chinese AI companies.

You are projecting your biases onto me. I do not make one-sided remarks or play political favoritism. Instead of accepting that, you're currently attempting to hold me responsible for other people. People who do not represent me, and whom I have absolutely no control over.

More projection. It is wrong and distasteful to paint censorship discussion as some kind of xenophobic dogwhistle. You do realize I'm not even the original person you replied to, right? Why are you approaching this conversation from such a hostile, pretentious position instead of seeking to come to an understanding?
