Tell HN: ChatGPT alternatives should be both Open Source and Uncensored
IMO, open source models trained on GPT-4 responses are still far from being truly open because they still suffer from the "safety" mechanisms OpenAI put in place. There's no reason to believe that such censored models benefit/harm different groups equally.
As we move towards more open models, we must emphasize the UNCENSOREDNESS aspect of them as well. We already see examples of powerful models that got neutered and crippled by Microsoft and OpenAI by censorship RLHF.

- ftxbro 3y agoIt's harder to dismiss by saying "pull requests are welcomed do it yourself" now that the things we want cost so much money to do these training runs. It's not like just writing some code over a few weekends and it's done.

- not_your_vase 3y agoRight. It's much easier to ask others to do the work for free.
