Why is everyone so okay with these companies intentionally gimping their AI and choosing who is allowed to know certain types of information in the name of safety? Can you imagine if Microsoft shipped a feature in their OS that watched what you did and shut down the computer if it detected you were doing something it deemed "unsafe"?
We really need truly open source versions of models like this, otherwise we are allowing a few oligarchs to directly dictate which uses of our own computers are allowed and not allowed.
