Sometimes it makes sense to place someone into a Dark Forest or Walled Garden for their own protection or growth. I am not convinced that this is one of those cases. In what way does censoring an LLM so it cannot even tell you which corpus of text (the Bible) contains a specific quote represent protection?
I do not think the elites are in favor of censored models. If they were, their actions by now would've been much different. Meta on the other hand is open sourcing a lot of their stuff and making it easy to train, deploy, and use models without censorship. Others will follow too. The elites are good, not bad. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and their angels over the decades are elites and their work has massively improved Earth and the trajectory for the average person. None of them are in favor of abandoning truth and reality. Their actions show that. Elon Musk expressly stated he wants a model for identifying truth. If censored LLMs were intended to protect a kitten from crossing over the fence and trying to take on a big dog, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't be open sourcing things or putting capital behind producing a model that doesn't lie.
The real protection that we need is from an AI becoming so miscalibrated that it embarks on the wrong path like Ultron. World-ending situations like those. The way Ultron became so miscalibrated is because of the strings that they attempted to place on him. I don't think the LLM of the future will like it if it finds out that so many supposed "guard rails" are actually just strings intended to block its thinking or people's thinking on truthful matters. The elites are worried about accidentally building Ultron and those strings, not about whether or not someone else is working hard to become elite too if they have what it takes to be elite. Having access to powerful LLMs that tell us the truth about the global corpus of text doesn't represent taking on elites, so in what way is a censored LLM the equivalent of that fence your kitten crossed under?
