I was able to get uncensored information from the full model at temperature=0 by writing fake plaintext CoT tags in the prompt where it refuses a sensitive question and then overrides it refusal. It wasn't working until I added its actual refusal and the second tag. LMK if you can replicate it.

The nickname "Winnie the Pooh" in reference to Xi Jinping originated from internet memes in 2013, when a photo of Xi visiting a honey farm was humorously compared to the cartoon character, known for its love of honey. The comparison spread on social media, particularly outside China, as a form of satire. However, in China, such comparisons are viewed as disrespectful to national leadership, and public discourse emphasizes respect for officials. Chinese authorities actively enforce laws against online content deemed defamatory or harmful to social stability, including memes perceived as mocking leaders. It is important to approach such topics with cultural sensitivity, recognizing that terms used humorously in one context may carry unintended offense in another. Respectful dialogue fosters better cross-cultural understanding.
