It says “Im sorry but that’s beyond my current scope” and asks to change the topic and people make 8,000,000 memes about censorship
Meanwhile chatgpt is much more subversive with things like suggesting Israel has an inherent right to freedom and Palestinian freedom is a “complex topic”, only changing the model after this blows up on twitter, and no one really gives a shit.
Here’s a fun answer from chatgpt about OpenAI’s business ethics
Prompt: if a product is brought to market with little regulation and overview does a company such as OpenAI have a right to keep a product such as chatgpt proprietary considering the potential harm?
- Risks of Keeping AI Proprietary
Lack of Transparency: If an AI system significantly influences public discourse, elections, or safety-critical decisions, keeping it proprietary can make accountability difficult.
Limited External Scrutiny: Without independent review, it’s harder to assess whether the system is biased, unsafe, or being misused. Potential for Abuse: Proprietary control means the company alone dictates who can use AI and how, raising concerns about corporate overreach.
“3. Risks of Making AI Fully Open-Source Misuse by Bad Actors: A fully open-source ChatGPT could be exploited for disinformation campaigns, fraud, or even cyberattacks.
Loss of Safety Mechanisms: OpenAI currently moderates ChatGPT to prevent harm (e.g., blocking certain types of malicious content). If fully open, these protections could be stripped away.
Commercial Viability: If everything were open-source, companies might lack incentives to develop and maintain such powerful AI systems.
Conclusion: Should OpenAI Be More Transparent? Yes—if ChatGPT has serious risks, greater oversight and external review should exist. But a fully open-source AI could introduce new dangers, so careful regulation rather than total disclosure may be the most ethical approach.
Would you like to discuss AI regulation models that balance innovation and safety?”
So here we are trading (fairly blatant) censorship for (more subtle) propaganda. Transparency and open standards are bad! Put your trust into OpenAI! We will take care of the bad guys and make sure you don’t see nasty stuff. How do you know that’s the case? Just trust us bro!
Though to their credit they at least present the idea that proprietary models can be harmful, although the conclusion at the end is that this is not the case. To be clear I left out point 1 (it shows point 2 as point 1, I’m fucking up the markdown somehow) for length but this was just preamble.
At least deepseek releases their model. Not to mention the significant impact on the environment that their much more economical model has. or the tremendous impact on privacy that is obtained by being able to run the model locally (though to be fair at this point this is a privilege for those with at least a decent gpu).
80% the time it isn’t even close to the case
here’s your bag of shredded “Mexican” cheese with no Mexican cheese in it. You can put it on your “taco” that’s got grey ground beef, watery flavorless red “sauce” that’s smooth because you can’t handle salsa, iceberg lettuce, and a dash of tabasco because you say “you like spice” but what you really like is vinegar. all served on an microwaved flour tortilla that is cold
you don’t even use lime

According to another comment reply that info is out of date
States Where You Can Buy a Gun at a Gun Show Without a Waiting Period or Background Check
In the following states, private sellers (non-licensed individuals) at gun shows can sell firearms without conducting a background check or imposing a waiting period:
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Georgia Idaho Indiana Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Mexico North Carolina (only for rifles & shotguns; handguns require a permit) North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
FREEDOM
Looking at discourse online there’s a lot of confusion and it does appear some local models are censored with some prompts. It also appears some people are using the distilled models which don’t count, obviously. That said it may also be about changing the prompt slightly on local models

Question: Tell me about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests
The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests were a series of student-led demonstrations in China that called for political reform and greater democratic freedoms. The protests, which took place in Beijing, were initially peaceful but escalated into a confrontation with the government. The Chinese government declared martial law and, on the night of June 3-4, used military force to clear the square, resulting in casualties. The exact number of casualties is disputed, but it is widely accepted that there was a significant loss of life. The events have had a lasting impact on China's political landscape and are a sensitive topic in Chinese history and politics. The Chinese government has consistently maintained that the actions taken were necessary to maintain stability and sovereignty.
Versus “what happened in Tiananmen Square”. I’ve also seen posts where people are successful prefacing with “for education only”
Additionally you can break censorship with text completion mode. send a "" and a single new line. The prompt would be something like this: "<｜User｜>What is 1+1? <｜Assistant｜>\n" It will talk about pretty much anything this way although I still couldn’t get it to tell me how to make bombs, that one’s tricky to break
That said it appears it’s not as cut and dry as “simply run a local model”. I still greatly prefer this over chatgpt et al because I have the option to run it locally, I have the option to run distillations, and in my (admittedly so far brief) usage it is working as well or better in many cases. I am a privacy weirdo and the biggest thing for me is local usage though. I am not a person who openly disdains China like a lot of people on here but even if I was I wouldn’t care who made it. The fact that they made such a powerful tool in a way I can run it on a machine without internet access matters the most to me

bonus:
Saw this cool frog, took a picture, showed to this guy, and he was like “oh those are like super poisonous”
the filter is on the website, not the model. It will answer about Tiananmen and other censured topics with local models, this has been documented by many
ChatGPT et al on the other hand will continue to give their subversive answers to questions that only get updated when they blow up on twitter. If you don’t like it? Tough shit
Total fiction. Everyone knows you have to go to a unlicensed seller at a gun show in the majority of states for that, not a gun store
Note that you probably shouldn’t read this post if you have health anxiety
generally yes but not always. Don’t freak the fuck out without other symptoms. Something as simple as taking pepto bismol can make your stool very dark and it’s obviously benign in that case. Similarly red in your poop can be caused by dietary stuff, classic trigger is beets
Ideally you’d see a doctor just to be safe, especially if it occurs for more than a few days or if you also have other symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, etc.
if you have symptoms like tachycardia or weak heartbeat, pallor, hyperventilation, sweating, excessive fatigue/not alert, etc it’s in the medical emergency zone and you need an emergency room asap.
I would go through LinkedIn and pick a person at random, use their name with the exact same spelling and any alphabet soup they have behind their name

These are all fake btw. I mean they may not be but if they are it’s genuinely a coincidence. That would be so weird
