I'd switch that question around: Why would I want to use a censored LLM? It doesn't make sense for me personally. It does make sense if you're offering an LLM publicly, so that you doesn't get bad PR if your LLM says som

One mobile-first cancer that's becoming increasingly annoying is sites highjacking Ctrl/Shift/Cmd+clicking (used to open links in new tabs). I paused writing this comment/rant to do a quick search about it and found that
