#12I assume that it will stop working if your code does some nuclear physics calculations /s.
This is joke, actually I used it for that. But not for cool nuclear stuff that you see in the movies.
And if you don't get the joke. It is about o3-mini model card having couple of pages about how they prevent it answering some nuclear and radiation questions.

I remember reading the Apple Quicktime EULA [1] (changed from all-caps):
> The Apple software is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control systems, life support machines or other equipment in which the failure of the Apple software could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

#14I wonder if one can sneak in words into code to avoid public code to be used for training AI. Perhaps just a tiny little nazi reference.

#15Does this have anything to do with Trump & Musk recently banning everything non-binary and terms like "diversity" from government? I guess it was about time to fix this.
yeah, for sure my friend. the populistic election fear of "the gays" wich led to the election of a guy who bribed pornstars and another not elected but who yourself already recognize as the true ruler, who raised a transgender daugther, they are alrady omnipresent as gods and impacting every aspect of everyone's life where a pronom may appear.
sigh.

I was reading someone the other day (it might have been on HN) saying they use this strategy to prevent candidates from using LLMs in interviews.
E.g. a system design interview question about building an app to manage all your drug shipments and nuclear bombs.

#17I have a simple question. If censorship is considered evil regarding the written word and communications between humans, why do we want to then censor LLMs differently? It is either counterintuitive or simply a false concept we should abandon. Perhaps it is more about training, similar to how children are 'monsters' and need to be socialized/tamed.

You are seriously underselling the potential impact of things happening has on planning. Any company worth their 2 cents has contingency plans ready for several situations - i.e. if President A wins vs B, if there is enough plausibility that it might come with serious impact to the business.

#19Time to buy some beefy professional GPUs with plenty of VRAM and run models locally (for example, with Ollama and Continue.dev), to get around things like this.

I think your first premise is incorrect, ie the groups doing this do not largely think censorship is evil.
