"nothing happens in 1989" is censorship. "no I won't tell you how to build a bioweapon for genocide" is guardrails.

idk about you but i WANT the second thing, because I like to be alive.

I call that censorship too. I'm curious enough that I want to know about such things. I don't want any limitations on what I'm allowed to understand and know about.


Your freedom ends where my begins. Welcome to study chemistry and learn things from first principles. but if you want to just ask for the practical steps of making a genocidal bioweapon then honestly I don't know you or whether you are honestly "merely curious" and so prefer your freedom ends there?

As if your censorship was not going to kill that too. Can't even ask Fable about aminoacids without getting blocked. So much for "learning from first principles".

Nothing wrong with practical steps. Just because I know how to do something, doesn't mean I'm actually going to do it.

I didn't say "with LLMs". Last time I checked they still teach chemistry at unis and schools.

And yeah, guardrails are not perfect. Honestly I don't think good enough guardrails are possible, it's all eventually defeated or becomes silly. And yes that should be one of the reasons the technology as a whole is banned.

But until then, guardrails are guardrails and not censorship in a pretty obvious way. If you refuse to see that, be my guest. I personally like to live.

No thanks from me
