If they don’t care about safety (or perceived safety), why do they spend so much time lobotomizing models for safety reasons?

market reach e.g. ability to have chat app on iOS (the API is less limited)

public relations, limit the edge case nonsense 'journalists' hype so corporate execs aren't terrorized into avoiding buying

doesn't have to be as smart as it could be, it just has to be smarter than other models, so might as well file down some sharp edges for sake of above

Because of PR reasons. They want to avoid government legislations and pretending that they care helps
