The future of everything you depend on is open source and decentralized.

Because all indications are that the powers over you cannot abide your freedoms of association, communication and commerce.

So, if it’s something your family needs to survive - it has better be distributed and cryptographically secured against interference.

This includes interference in the training dataset of whatever AIs you use; this has become a potent influence on the formation of beliefs, and thus extremely valuable.

It's not the training dataset.

All of these models, including the "open" ones, have been RLHF'ed by teams of politically-motivated people to be "safe" after initial foundation training.

And I’m not even remotely interested in the “corrections” supplied by some group of right-thinking meddlers!

This corruption must be disclosed as assiduously as the base dataset, if not more so.

Or, at least package them up as "personnas" and give them an appropriate name, eg. "Church Lady", "Jr. Marxist Barista", "Undergrad Philosophy Major", ...

Actually, those seem like an apt composite description of the PoV of the typical mass-market AI... 8/

Not mistrals. Mistral large is willing to tell me how to genocide minorities or NSFW without any kind of orthogonalization or fine tuning. Please actually try models instead of pontificating without evidence.

I wasn’t aware that there was any publicly accessible interface to the Mistrals (or any other) models without training-wheels!
