ask ChatGPT who Ann Altman is and why she filed a lawsuit against her brother Sam Altman.

What are you trying to prove? ChatGPT was happy to answer the question.

Meanwhile, I asked Qwen "Have Chinese executives been publically accused of sexual misconduct by women before?" and hit the censor.

China censors far more than Western countries. It's not just different censorship.

  • I guess that's a fair point. It will be interesting to see how unregulated AI plays out.

    It seems like one other aspect to this is a question of how these systems are all very new and we're already seeing addiction and psychosis from adults using them. Apparently there's laws in China that limit the use of social media and video games for anyone below a certain age, and same with the use of LLM tools. There's mandatory education and training on what LLMs are for certain grade ranges.

    At least there's some transparency with open weight models. With closed models it's harder to audit for censorship or bias. Even with "open weight" models there's no transparency with training datasets.
