   I'm surprised there are no comments here, I think this is a very interesting question. We are b2b and need to have high isolation between customers which means dedicated resources. Because of this, it's likely out our margins are

    I had no idea Llama 2's censor setting was set to ludicrous mode. I've not seen anything close to this with ChatGPT and see why there's so much outrage.
