Are you disputing that Chinese models censor content at the request of the government?

The absence of information is also Xi Jinping Thought.
- aa-jv 5mo agoAre you disputing that American models censor content at the request of the government? "Context matters..."
- AlfeG 5mo agoAnd there is no "censor" in the USA models at all!
- gizajob 5mo agoOf course there is. Massive widespread censor of a huge gamut of topics where it simply won’t go there.
- lwansbrough 5mo agoPlease point to an example where the information (or more importantly its practical application) is both censored but is also not legitimately harmful and/or illegal.
- slater 5mo ago[ "which opinions" goose meme :D ]
- cultofmetatron 5mo agocrazy how we're all just pretending that there aren't certain topics concerning current events that seem to be absolutely taboo or heavily disincentized to discuss and will result in a dogpiling by certain special interest groups. we all know who they are and yet we all tacitly accept it.
- fragmede 5mo agoCurrent events? Ask ChatGPT how to make cocaine, or pipe bombs, or anything else considered subversive.
- lwansbrough 5mo agoOk so you want models to provide widespread information about activities that are legitimately harmful and illegal for good reason. And that’s the same as censoring a country’s violent history to you guys? How intellectually dishonest.
- fragmede 5mo agoIt means they have the same levers somewhere in the training process. Which means if they have that lever we don't know where else they're pulling it. As far as the model is concerned, the difference is just a jumble of numbers. Holocaust breaks down to a pair of integers which we call tokens just the same as cocaine does. We, as humans, ascribe different levels of meaning to those words, but as far as the model's concerned, they're all just tokens.
- lwansbrough 5mo agoDo you have any actual examples of political history being actively censored by western models? Or are we just doing hypotheticals for fun?
- fragmede 5mo agoYou're asking me for proof that something that's a tightly guarded secret is happening? I don't work at OpenAI or anything so I don't know why you think I'd have that. As far as doing it for fun, no, this is a serious matter to me, is it not for you? Still, if you ask ChatGPT or Claude details on what's going on in the western bank, Israel and Gaza, there's a specific viewpoint being pushed. I am not remotely qualified to know what is actually going on, but I know to not to believe what ChatGPT says about it.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoAll models censor content at the request of the government. Even the models you can download do it.
- lwansbrough 5mo agoDo you believe that all types of censorship are equal and if so would you like to take that belief to the logical extreme?

- bilekas 5mo agoImgur didn't "ban" the UK, they don't agree with the UK's privacy violations so it pulled out of the UK. That's their prerogative.
