The Chinese models are censored (too?).

> US is censoring models

For the current Anthropic issue, I’d say that’s more likely to just be generic corruption, revenge, shakdeown, and/or incompetence from the Trump admin. ‘Censoring’ might be technically correct, but I think one of the aforementioned verbs is a better fit.

This is MUCH less of an issue if they're providing the weights though.

They can still be fine-tuned & ablated.

It feels like the difference is really just the competence level of the corrupt government.

It’s not like the American regime is anti-censorship but pro-shakedown.

Sadly, I think it's all four at once.

Tbh if we had a Harris admin I expect we'd have some sort of locking down by now.
Probably. But it would be at least somewhat thought-out and apply to all the AI providers. Not just the one currently disfavored by Captain Dipshit and the Sycophants.

I really don't know why business cozies up to Trump so much, given how unbelievably unreliable and mercurial he is about...everything.

Nobody thinks the leopards will eat THEIR faces, just their neighbors'.
Because he’s running a racket. If you don’t cozy up to Trump you will suffer and it’s as simple as that. This administration is a mafia.
