Let's say any country create the most powerful - and thus best - LLMs. They over time infiltrate it with their political will. Over 20-30 years, I'd imagine people asking those LLMs will have their minds' shifted.

But. That's just me, my pessimism-sci-fi scenario.



I think that just as how perplexity had actually created a deepseek(fine-tune?)[1], then there is more and more incentive towards making uncensored models though I am gonna be honest, Kimi K2 isn't that censored but I tried the gguf variant of this model on local pc and it definitely is censored / biased towards china (like taiwan is part of them and so on)

But still, the most recent version of american foss model gpt-oss is just so filled with censorship that its just not worth it in the name of "safety", so to me both are doing censorship but I'd much rather use chinese censorship since its only censored on chinese topics and I mean, I personally wouldn't be ever asking chinese models chinese questions but maybe that's just me.

And even if I would, I would probably ask it on some uncensored, in fact I was actually thinking of creating a fine tune like the perplexity, or just this idea to break chinese censorship.

I also think that some better idea needs to come up with multi modal approach so that censorship could be removed by mixing and matching american and chinese models, I do think it is far from reality but I read a recent comment about harmony which gpt-oss uses and it does look promising I am not sure.

The problem I've had with Chinese models is that when they get confused they revert to Chinese which is just gibberish to me of course. American models revert to English in those situations but that's fine for me.

And models can be abliterated to remove the censorship. I use llama3 that way.
