The CCP is not influencing my Rust code quality that much. Though I did notice all my lifetimes are now 'static because nothing is ever allowed to leave the party's ownership, unsafe blocks require approval from a central committee.

Honestly the scariest part is that shared mutable state is forbidden unless the state is doing the sharing.

Otherwise it is pretty ok.

Check out TNG on huggingface

They are a consultancy in Germany, but I watched a presentation on them tuning and removing bias from Deepseek models. It was quite interesting.

(I upvoted your question as I agree)

Its not just code we need to worry about, its also subliminal messaging and other things.

Sounds like something that heretic or similar might be useful for?

Eh even corporate created LLMs are suspect to corporate biases. Nothing is safe.
