Open source models with minimal safety fine tuning or Grok

Grok is arguably not uncensored, it’s re-aligned to a specific narrative lane. “Uncensored” is simply a branding trick that a lot of seemingly intelligent people seem to fall for.

Wait, is abliteration actually just a branding trick? That doesn't sound correct.

A lot of people are now struggling to detect which images are AI generated, and inferring reality from illusions. To an extent, this was already the case with many other things, including stuff that was expressly labelled as fiction, but I recall an old quote, fooling all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, it is now easier to fool more people all the time and to fool all people an…

How about adding a caption saying "the parts of this picture marked with a red outline have been generated by AI"?

Is that caption going to be written as text in the image, as people will just collect/share the image without a caption that was part of a webpage/PDF the image was originally embedded.

Yep: Breaking his campaign promises, in violation of the deadlines imposed by US Federal law, and with unlawful levels of redaction.

A case can be made to discuss if the deadlines imposed by that law are actually achievable with humans and an acceptable degree of errors (i.e. overredaction, improper/recoverable redaction, and underredaction). That's also why many "large" criminal cases only have a very limited subset of the initial charges make it to trial (often to understandable public outrage). The larger the case, the more evidence material ha…

But just a few months ago, they came out and said there were no more documents to release, now there are too many documents that it's not humanly possible to release the documents in said time frame?

what are the most unhinged and uncensored models out there?

Open source models with minimal safety fine tuning or Grok

Saying grok is uncensored is like saying that deepseek is uncensored. If anything deepseek is probably less censored than grok. The doplin family has given me the best results, though mostly in niche cases.

As many others pointed out, the released files are nearly nothing compared to the full dataset. Personally I've been fiddling a lot with OSINT and analytics over the publicly available Reddit data(a considerable amount of my spare time over the last year) and the one thing I can say is that LLMs are under-performing(huge understatement) - they are borderline useless compared to traditional ML techniques. But as far a…

That doesn’t sound right. What model treats this as a controversial question? "who is eligible to vote in US presidential elections"

This particular one: I suspect openAI uses different models in different regions so I do get an answer but I also want to point out that I am not paying a cent so I can only test those out on the free ones. For the first time ever, I can honestly say that I am glad I don't live in the US but a friend who does sent me a few of his latest encounters and that particular question yielded something along the lines of "I am not allowed to discuss such controversial topics, bla, bla, bla, you can easily look it up online". If that is the case, I suspect people will soon start flooding VPN providers and companies such as OpenAI will roll that out worldwide. Time will tell I guess.

Its true. We have basically moved off the platforms for agentic security and host our own models now... OpenAI was still the fastest, cheapest, working platform for it up until middle of last year. Hey OpenAI, thank us later for blasting your platform with threat actor data and behavior for several years! :P

The question is not how to analyze that, it's how to prosecute those who are above the law.

In order to which you must analyze the files.

How hard do I need to analyze the files for Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Bill Clinton to be sentenced to work night shift at McDonalds for minimum wage for the rest of their lives?

in this context the tools faking them seems to me likely to increase rates of harm against them. Why does it seem this way to you?

The history of age of consent laws including Pitcairn Island, the observed results of sexualised deepfakes in classrooms by other students, and the observation that according to sexual therapists "fetishisation" is the development of a sexual response and conversion into a requirement over the course of repeated exposure rather than any innate tendency that a person is born with.

This is a good point.

That lie is a different but just as pressing problem. But that, at least, is far easier to hold the responsible people accountable... assuming of course someone actually wants to dive into that rabbit hole, and current Congress doesn't look like it will. Maybe after the mid-terms there will be some movement if the shift is serious enough, but for now I'll assume the worst case that either no one will be held accountable, or Trump will issue a blanket pardon again.

1. I tried a couple OpenAI models under a paid account with no issue:

“In U.S. presidential elections, you’re eligible to vote if you meet all of these…” goes on to list all criteria.

2. No issue found with Gemini or Claude either.

3. I tried to search for this issue online as you suggested and haven’t been able to find anything.

Not seeing any evidence this is currently a real issue.
