> If a business releases a model, we have a right to demand that it is useful for us because we're the business' costumers. What makes you their customer? Are you offering them money for access to the uncensored model you say you want? Do you have some business that you’re going to be able to build that tests on access to an uncensored model, and their failure to offer that to you is preventing them from getting paid by you to provide the underlying technology for your venture? Because on the other hand there is a state lottery over here who absolutely is willing to pay someone money for a safe, censored model. They are an actual paying customer with a real use case and cash to back it up. Of course, it turns out the AI they ended up using didn’t (if this story holds up) actually meet their expectations with respect to safety and alignment - but let’s be clear: they wanted a safe, censored model. I find it hard to believe that the market for uncensored models - LLMs that occasionally output 4chan style racist tirades, diffusion models that occasionally generate pornography - is actually worth addressing, compared to offering models which don’t do those things.
