China is terrible to people who speak out against the government and the government censors models. Open weight is nice, but not good if it’s silently been lobotomized on topics.

Separate dimension, these models seem to be distillations of the flagship models. That isn’t healthy for AI because it’s not forward progress. If they suck away revenue that would fund training the next model, then we’re cooked.

That’s crazy. How many American political prisoners have you met or worked with personally? I’ve worked directly on campaigns to free 2 of them. There are many. You almost never hear about that. Along with a lot of other things that, while statutorily legal to talk about publicly, never seem to get a hearing in the mass media. It’s almost as if one of these countries found a way to enact defacto censorship without admitting to it, and the other country is just honest
