    Keep a close eye on abliterated and "heretic" open weight models. They will be outlawed first.

      Agree. I took a look at these last few months, did a write-up: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;languageops.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ai-safety-pdoom-local-vs-frontier&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;languageops.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;ai-safety-pdoom-local-vs-fronti... and I don&#x27;t know if I agree or not on outlawing completely, but I think an age restriction *at least* like for alcohol, firearms and driving would be not unwise.

        Make sure they ban books with dangerous knowledge too.

          Books with dangerous knowledge are banned.

          See, the various banned porn varieties for an easy example

            There are only three banned porn varieties I know of (depending on jurisdiction), which are child porn, bestiality porn, and nonconsensual&#x2F;revenge porn.

            And calling those things &quot;books&quot; is just nonsense. You know what we are talking about when we say &quot;books&quot;, and it isn&#x27;t that.

              Unguarded LLMs create knowledge just like that, im not sure why you would consider it nonsense.

              There&#x27;s a reason people hated Grok for sexualising children

              The Convention for the Suppression of the Circulation of and Traffic in Obscene Publications, which is ratified by most countries, and only denounced by Denmark, Germany, and The Netherlands, bans most porn.

              There are some enforcement issues.
